地點狀語從句考題透析

請看下面一道題：When you read the book, you’d better make a mark _________ you have any questions.
A. at which                 B. at where             C. the place where         D. where

【分析】此題正確答案選D，where 在此意爲“在……的地方”，用以引導地點狀語從句，全句意爲“當你讀這本書時，你最好在有問題的地方作一個記號”。但是有的同學卻根據試題所提供的選項想當然認爲這是一道考查定語從句關係詞的選擇與辨析的試題，於是在A、B、C三項中絞盡腦汁，當然最終不可能得出正確答案。請做以下試題，看看是考查定語從句還是狀語從句：

(6) After living in Paris for fifty years, he returned to the small town _________ he grew up as a child.
A. where                  B. when                     C. in which                  D. that
答案選A，where引導定語從句，表示地點。 比較以下兩句，含義大致相同，但where 的用法不同：第一句中 where 引導的是狀語從句，第二句引導的是定語從句：

We’ll go where working conditions are difficult. 我們要去工作條件艱苦的地方。
We’ll go to the place where working conditions are difficult. 我們要去工作條件艱苦的地方。
