选项 1.______ A.where B.when C.that D.why

答案A

解析本题测试考生对宾语从句引导词的选择能力。Remember后接的宾语从句we put the keys缺少状语成分,故空格处应该填入连接副词(where,when,how,why)。因此排除C项that (that引导宾语从句时可省略,且从句结构完整。)根据上文“记忆力不如从前”,那么此处要表达的应该是“我们会突然想不起把钥匙放在哪里”。put表示“放置”时,常用“put sth. +地点状语”的搭配,A项where正确。从句本身已有时间状语(a moment ago),因此排除B项when;“忘记刚刚放钥匙的原因”不符合逻辑,排除D项why。
