"I don't want any soup," said Joanna, looking out of the window. "Now there are only four."

"Sue," said Joanna, "I【2】 (be) a bad girl since I was in hospital. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me 【3】 (think) of death. Bring me some soup, dear."

【2】have been

【4】is dying

【5】is said

【6】fell

【解析】本文讲述了最后一片叶子的故事。

【1】句意：当最后一片叶子落的时候，我就要离开这个世界了。When引导的时间状语从句是一般现在时，主句应使用将来时。故填 will leave 。

【2】句意：自从我住院以来，我不是一个好女孩。since I was in hospital.自从我住院以来。从过去某一时间开始，一直延续到现在的状态，使用现在完成时，又因为主语是第一人称I。故填have been

【3】句意：最后那片叶子告诉我，想到死的想法是错误的。To think of death 是不定式，在that引导的宾语从句中做真正的主语。

【4】句意：但是可怜的楼下的Mr. Berman就要死了。Dying是形容词，垂死的。故填is dying

【5】句意：“亲爱的乔安娜，据说Mr. Berman今天死了。”it is said据说

【6】句意：最后那片叶子落下的那个晚上，他把它画在了那里。Fell 是fall的过去式。
