解答：

一個句子裡時態要一致.需要填空的句子是一個複合句,有主句和從句.A 和B的時態分別是過去式和將來時、一般現在時,不可以出現在一個句子裡.根據上文,這個句子說的是將來的事情,所以主句應該是將來時,從句是一般現在時(主將從現是一個基本原則).根據語意,是想說如果電影結束得早,我們就去書店.這裡,電影結束得早,就是去書店的條件.雖然"影結束得早"是對將來的預測,因爲是條件,所以要用一般現在時.D的答案,兩個都是一般現在時,與上文意思不符.但是,這個題目實際上出得有問題,so是結果從句,而且the film finishes quite early只是假設的條件,比較合理的說法應該是If the film finishes early, we are going to the bookshop after that. quite這個副詞一般用在既定事實裡面,這裡用在條件從句里也不太合適.可以說這是純粹考將來時的動詞形態,可惜題目出得不對.
