[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(yǔ)從句)
The problem is where we can borrow so much money. (表語(yǔ)從句)
They didnt tell me where I could meet them. (賓語(yǔ)從句)
I have no idea where the highway leads. (同位語(yǔ)從句)
在名詞性從句中,引導(dǎo)詞where是各地高考的熱點(diǎn),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(yǔ)境說(shuō)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(diǎn),且found后是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)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(yǔ)從句,根據(jù)語(yǔ)境“……珠海就是珠江流入南海的地方”,可知該題應(yīng)填where。
點(diǎn)撥 (1)where引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句經(jīng)??梢苑g成“……之所在”,表示抽象的地點(diǎn)。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(yǔ)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(diǎn)主語(yǔ)從句也是高考的熱點(diǎn),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(jìn)”。這里“讓他感到想放棄的地方”應(yīng)該是where引導(dǎo)的地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)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(yǔ)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(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)從句。
點(diǎn)撥 對(duì)于where引導(dǎo)的地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)從句,有些同學(xué)們很容易將其與where引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句相混淆。where引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,從句前有一個(gè)表示地點(diǎn)的名詞作先行詞,where可以替換成“介詞+which”;而where引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句前則沒有先行詞。
3. 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句
This is the small village where the spent his childhood.
如果先行詞在從句中做主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)時(shí),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(yǔ)從句中作狀語(yǔ),這是各地高考試卷中語(yǔ)法填空題和短文改錯(cuò)考題中??嫉臒狳c(diǎn)問(wèn)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(yǔ)從句,先行詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),因此根據(jù)語(yǔ)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(yǔ)從句,先行詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。
例7 The next day, my brother and I went to the beach ________ we watched some people play volleyball.endprint
