补全句子。
so
so…that… 如此……以致于…… 引导结果状语从句
so后跟形容词或副词，表示程度，that后接从句表示这一程度千万的影响或结果。
“so+形容词 / 副词+that从句”
e.g. *Mike walked so fast that I couldn’t follow him.
*It is so expensive a restaurant that I have never been there.
*I was so careless that I forgot to lock the door just now.
结果状语从句
so修饰形容词或副词, such修饰名词。
e.g. *He was so weak that he could hardly stand up.
*Everything happened so quickly that I hadn’t time to think.
*He came to such a sudden stop that we almost hit him.
*I’d put on such a lot of weight that I couldn’t get into my trousers.
such…that & so…that
such修饰的单数可数名词前有形容词时，其结构为：
“such + a(n) + 形容词 +单数可数名词 + that从句”
so 的相关结构为：
“so + 形容词 + a(n) +单数可数名词 + that从句”
【注意】
e.g. *She is such a lovely girl that all her classmates like her.
=She is so lovely a girl that all her classmates like her.
*It’s such a tiny kitchen that I don’t have to do much to keep it clean.
=It’s so tiny a kitchen that I don’t have to do much to keep it clean.

little等修饰时，用so不用such。

公园里这么多人，我们只好决定回家。
*I paid so little attention to him that I didn’t know what he was doing.
过去我对他关注太少，都不知他做什么的。
so & such口诀
名词such, 形副so，多多少少也用so；
little属特殊，“小”用such，“少”用so。
little：小的，修饰名词，其前面仍须用such, 而不用so。
e.g. They are such little children that they can’t do anything.
这些孩子太小了，做不了什么事。
