“where”是高考热点之一,命题中主要考查其在定语从句、名词从句和状语从句这三大从句中的使用。例如:
(1)Those successful deaf dancers think that dancing is an activity where sight matters more than hearing.
句中where是关系副词,引导定语从句,在从句中做状语;
(2)You are saying that everyone should be equal, and this is where I disagree.
句中where是连接副词,引导名词从句做表语,而本身在从句中做状语;
(3)If you are traveling where the customs are really foreign to your own, please do as the Romans do.
句中where是从属连词,引导状语从句。
