[基本用法]

1. 引導(dǎo)名詞性從句

Where he comes from is a secret to all of us. （主語從句）

The problem is where we can borrow so much money. （表語從句）

They didnt tell me where I could meet them. （賓語從句）

I have no idea where the highway leads. （同位語從句）

在名詞性從句中，引導(dǎo)詞where是各地高考的熱點，應(yīng)引起我們足夠的重視。

例1 After looking at the toy for some time， he turned around and found where his parents were missing.

解析 where→that或刪除。語境說的是他發(fā)現(xiàn)父母不見了，而不是發(fā)現(xiàn)父母不見的地點，且found后是一個賓語從句，句子意思與成分完整，因此應(yīng)該用只起連接作用的that引導(dǎo)，也可將其省略。

例2 Zhuhai， located in the Pearl River Delta， is a city and Special Economic Zone， in Guangdong Province， China. The name means Zhuhai is _______ the Pearl River flows into the South Sea.

解析 該題考查表語從句，根據(jù)語境“……珠海就是珠江流入南海的地方”，可知該題應(yīng)填where。

點撥 （1）where引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句經(jīng)常可以翻譯成“……之所在”，表示抽象的地點。如：

There have been frequent traffic accidents in China recently， and thats where people are concerned.

（2）where引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句通常不與介詞搭配，但可以與from結(jié)合使用。如：

No matter how far you may fly， never forget where you come from.

2. 引導(dǎo)狀語從句

Where there is a will， there is away. 有志者，事竟成。

We must stay where there is water. 我們必須待在有水的地方。

where引導(dǎo)地點主語從句也是高考的熱點，因此應(yīng)引起同學(xué)們足夠的重視。

例3 ________ he once felt like giving up， he now has the determination to push further and keep on going.

解析 Where。句意是“曾經(jīng)讓他感到想放棄的地方，現(xiàn)在他決心繼續(xù)前進”。這里“讓他感到想放棄的地方”應(yīng)該是where引導(dǎo)的地點狀語從句。要注意的是首字母必須大寫。

例4 Back at my desk I placed Kris cards right ________ I could see it the rest of the day—a little of the reminder of the power of love.

解析 where。根據(jù)語境“……將卡片放在我能看見的地方……”可知這里應(yīng)該是where引導(dǎo)的地點狀語從句。

點撥 對于where引導(dǎo)的地點狀語從句，有些同學(xué)們很容易將其與where引導(dǎo)的定語從句相混淆。where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，從句前有一個表示地點的名詞作先行詞，where可以替換成“介詞+which”；而where引導(dǎo)的狀語從句前則沒有先行詞。

3. 引導(dǎo)定語從句

This is the small village where the spent his childhood.

如果先行詞在從句中做主語、賓語、表語時，應(yīng)用which或that。如：

This is the village which was destroyed by a terrible earthquake several years ago.

where在定語從句中作狀語，這是各地高考試卷中語法填空題和短文改錯考題中?？嫉臒狳c問題。

例5 When harvest came around， he was already selling herbs， vegetables and cotton in the market ________ people from the towns met regularly.

解析 where。根據(jù)句意及主從句之間的關(guān)系，我們可以知道本題是考查定語從句，先行詞在定語從句中作地點狀語，因此根據(jù)語法填空題的考查要求，可知本題應(yīng)填where。

例6 Football is a sport ________ players hold the ball and run with it， like in rugby.

解析 where。根據(jù)句意及主從句之間的關(guān)系，知該題是考查定語從句，先行詞在定語從句中作地點狀語。

例7 The next day， my brother and I went to the beach ________ we watched some people play volleyball.endprint
