答案：
【语篇解读】 本文为一位健忘的母亲和女儿间的对话。
1.happened 解析：考查时态。根据下句可知，设空处表示过去的事情，故用一般过去时。
2.when 解析：考查从属连词。句意：我早就做好了一些三明治，去接电话时我把它们放在桌子上了。根据left和went及句意可推知，设空处表示“当……的时候”。went为瞬间动词，故while不可用。
3.gone 解析：考查非谓语动词作表语。gone意为“没了，不见了”。
4.earlier 解析：考查副词。句意：我确信他早些时候在厨房了。earlier早些时候。
5.making 解析：考查非谓语动词作宾语。finish后须用动名词而不是不定式作宾语，故答案为making。
6.Anyway/Besides 解析：考查副词用法。根据设空处前后两句的逻辑关系，可判断设空处表示附加关系。句意：无论如何/除此之外，他不可能拿着一盘子三明治还带着他所有的网球用具……。
7.it 解析：考查代词用法。it用来指代不明身份的人。
8.the 解析：考查冠词用法。设空处后的名词fridge表示特指，故用the。
9.must 解析：考查情态动词用法。句意：我一定是在电话响的时候把它们放在那里的。
10.mind/memory 解析：考查固定搭配。lose one's mind/memory失去记忆。
