2. the school where i studied only two years was three kilometers away. 我僅僅在那里讀了兩年的學(xué)校，有三千米遠(yuǎn)。
句子中的where i studied only two years是定語從句，修飾先行詞the school。

這是一個(gè)并列復(fù)合句。第一分句中的because i was not born there是原因狀語從句；第二分句中的whether i would be out of work是賓語從句，作介詞about的賓語。
短語be worried about的意思是“為……憂慮/擔(dān)心/煩惱”。
i have been worried about your health these days.
這些天來，我一直在擔(dān)心你的健康。
短語out of work的意思是“失業(yè)”。
what can i do if i am out of work?
我如果失業(yè)了該怎么辦呢？
4. the last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all. 過去30年來所出現(xiàn)的大量法律剝奪我們的權(quán)利，阻擋我們的進(jìn)步，一直到今天，我們還處在幾乎什么權(quán)利都沒有的階段。
這是一個(gè)比較復(fù)雜的復(fù)合句。句子的主干是the last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws；stopping our rights and progress為現(xiàn)在分詞作定語，修飾laws；until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all是時(shí)間狀語從句，其中where we have almost no rights at all是定語從句，修飾a stage。
當(dāng)先行詞是stage, situation等詞時(shí)，定語從句常用where, when或in which來引導(dǎo)。
at that time we had reached a stage where we had more black readers than white ones.
那時(shí)候我們已到了黑人讀者比白人還要多的階段。
increasing poverty has led to a situation where the poorest openly admit that they cannot afford to have children.
日益嚴(yán)重的貧困處境使得最為貧窮的人們只得公開承認(rèn)他們養(yǎng)不起孩子。
另外，動(dòng)詞see除了用來表示“看見”以外，還可表示“遇見”“會(huì)晤”“理解”“發(fā)覺”“經(jīng)歷”等。在本句中，它的意思是to be the time when (an event)happens; witness（某事）發(fā)生之時(shí)；目睹。

今年是那位作曲家逝世一百周年。
5. the parts of town where they lived were places decided by white people. 他們在城里的住宅區(qū)都是由白人決定的。
句子中的decided by white people是過去分詞短語作定語，修飾places，其語法功能相當(dāng)于定語從句which were decided by white people。
