Unit8LiteratureLessons1-2知识清单-2023-2024学年高中英语北师大版选

U8L12原文呈现THE LAST LEAFGreenwich Village格林威治村is a place where the art people came together,hunting for apartments with northfacing windows and low rents. At the top of a threestory building,Sue and Johnsy苏和约翰西had their studio.In November,a cold,unseen stranger,whom the doctors called Pneumonia “肺炎”,arrived in Greenwich Village.Mr.Pneumonia placed his icy finger on Johnsy约翰西;and she lay,barely moving,in her bed staring at a blank wall空墙under her blanket.The doctor took Sue aside and claimed,“She has one chance in—let us say,ten.And that chance is for her to want to live.Try to encourage her to think more hopeful thoughts,about the future,about living.”Sue took some paper and a pen into Johnsy's room and began a pen drawing,in an attempt to raise Johnsy's spirits(打起精神).Johnsy's eyes were open,but they weren't watching her.Instead,she stared out the window and counted backwards:“Ten,nine,eight,seven ...”“What are you counting,dear?” asked Sue.“They're falling faster now,”replied Johnsy.“Three days ago there were almost a hundred.But now it's easy.There are only five left now.Five leaves on the ivy vine常春藤.When the last one falls,I must go,too.Didn't the doctor tell you?”“Oh,I never heard of such nonsense,”quickly replied Sue.But Johnsy's mind was made up.“I want to see the last one fall.I'm tired of waiting.I want to go sailing down,down,just like one of those poor,tired leaves.”“Try to sleep,”said Sue.Then she went to fetch her neighbour,Mr.Behrman 伯曼先生,to be a model for her drawing.He was a failed painter.In 40 years he had never produced the masterpiece he longed to paint.Sue told him about Johnsy's longing to slip away like the leaves.Behrman cried with disbelief.“Are there people in the world that foolish to think they'll die because leaves drop off from a vine? Thisis not a place in which Miss Johnsy shall lie sick.Someday I will paint a masterpiece,and we shall all go away.”Behrman and Sue looked out the window at the vine and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf.What's more,a cold rain was falling,mixed with snow.The next morning,Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened.One leaf remained on the vine,bravely holding on in the wind and rain.“It will fall today.And I will die with it.”The following day,Johnsy asked again for the curtains to be opened.The leaf was still there!Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it.“I've been a bad girl,Sue,”said Johnsy.“It is a crime to want to die.”Then she asked for some food.In the afternoon,the doctor visited,“Even chances,”said the doctor,“with good nursing,you'll win.And now I must see a fellow downstairs,Behrman.Pneumonia,too.There is no hope for him.”The next day,Sue came to Johnsy's bed.“I have something to tell you,”she said.“Mr.Behrman died today.He was ill for only two days.The janitor found him lying in bed helplessly with pain yesterday morning.His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold.They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a terrible night.And then they found a lantern,still lit,and some brushes,and—look out the window,dear,at the last ivy leaf on the wall.Didn't you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew? Ah,dear,it's Behrman's masterpiece—he painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.”译文参考最后一片叶子格林威治村是艺术人士聚集的地方,他们在那里寻找窗户朝北(阴面)且低租金的公寓。

Possible hang-ups at this stage
Lack of motivation
Set a manageable goal for the next few hours and take a break when you reach it
Lose direction in the paper
Look back at your research articles
Use your research and your analysis to fill in the gaps in your outline
Put away your articles before you write
Write with the research fresh in your mind, but not in front of you to avoid plagiarism
Examples of transition sentences
Example: Amy Tan became a famous author after her novel, The
Joy Luck Club, skyrocketed up the bestseller list. There are other things to note about Tan as well. Amy
Reread your outline Read what you have written so far out loud
Talk out the topic with a friend or tutor
Make an oral argument based on your topic to a friend. Let them ask questions and make comments
Writing: Your paper under construction
Construction graphic?
Moving from outline to paper
Before you begin:
Remember—It’s a first draft. It’s ok to ignore formatting and spellinபைடு நூலகம் for now.
However, don’t ignore references or citations. They will be hard to track down later if you ignore them now.
Allow time for revision or outside editing, or both.
Transition Sentences
What do transitions do?
Help readers understand how paragraphs work together, and build to an overall point.
Highlight connections between paragraphs. By referencing in one paragraph the relevant material from previous ones, writers can develop important points for their readers.
1) move the paragraph elsewhere 2) Include a transition sentence to introduce the
paragraph Cut the paragraph if it is no longer relevant
Flow of your argument
Continue one paragraph where another leaves off
If this is especially challenging, it’s possible the paragraphs don't belong together at all.
Use key phrases from the previous paragraph and highlighting them in the next to create an obvious progression for readers.
Photo of 2 people talking
Audio of someone consulting someone else for advice on their paper
Paragraph transitions
Read paper aloud
If something seems out of place or abrupt, you need to:
Don’t surprise the reader or leave him/her in the dark Make your argument explicit; don’t just allude to your point Avoid vague statements Don’t start a sentence with “This.” Be explicit about what you are referencing
