动词搭配+从句辨析本句句义为“我们会突然想不起来放钥匙_____”。划线处及之后的“_____we put the key just a moment ago”作remember的宾语从句。根据put的用法“put something in some place”(把某物放在某处)可知,空格处缺少的是地点状语,在四个选项中只有where表示地点状语,因此正确答案是D。why和when分别引导原因状语从句和时间状语从句,可放到空格处,但是无法做put的地点状语,所以排除选项A和B。that放在动词remember之后引导宾语从句,此时的that没有任何实际意义可以省略,而且that并不能充当put的地点状语,所以排除选项C。
