【解析】

本文是一則故事，講述了一位男人讓他的四個兒子分別在不同的季節(jié)去看梨樹，看過梨樹以后，四個兒子分別有不同的看法，雖然他們看到的都是真的，但是每個人說的又各不相同，由此告訴我們看全面看待事物。

【1】句意：他希望他的兒子們能學會不要太快速地判斷事情。

slowly緩慢地；quickly快速地；seriously認真地。根據(jù)下文中“He told them that they could not judge a tree or a person by only one season.”可知，這個男人告訴他的兒子們不能僅僅依照一個季節(jié)來判斷一棵樹或一個人，也就是告訴他們不要過于快速地判斷事情，所以此處使用副詞quickly。故選B。

【2】句意：當他們回到家，他把他們叫到一起，描述他們所看到的。

how怎么樣；why為什么；what什么。根據(jù)句中describe和“they had seen”可知，此處是“描述他們看到的內(nèi)容，也就是描述他們看到了什么”，所以此處使用疑問詞what。故選C。

【3】句意：大兒子說那棵樹又丑又荒涼。

ugly丑陋的；beautiful漂亮的；wonderful精彩的。句中and是并列連詞，結(jié)合句中stark可知，此處是“這棵樹又丑又荒涼”，描述這棵樹不值得一看，所以此處使用形容詞ugly。故選A。

【4】句意：二兒子說，樹上長滿了綠色的嫩芽，充滿了希望。

difference不同點；hope希望；experience經(jīng)驗，經(jīng)歷。根據(jù)句中“the tree was covered with green buds”可知，綠色代表著希望，所以此處是“樹上長滿了綠色的嫩芽，充滿了希望”，所以此處使用名詞hope。故選B。

【5】句意：他說它們聞起來很香，看起來很漂亮。

tasted嘗起來；felt 感覺；smelled聞起來。根據(jù)前一句中flowers和該句中sweet可知，此處是“花聞起來很香，看起來很漂亮”，所以此處使用系動詞smelled。故選C。

【6】句意：最后一個兒子不同意他們的看法，說那棵樹掛滿了果實，充滿了生機。

first第一；last最后的；short短的。根據(jù)上文中“The first son…The second son…The third son…”以及“There was a man who had four sons.”可知，這個人一共有四個兒子，前三個兒子分別表達了自己的看法，所以此處是“最后一個兒子不同意他們的看法”，所以此處使用last。故選B。

【7】句意：人們會對它感到滿意的。

be friendly to對……友好的；be worried about擔心……；be satisfied with對……感到滿意的。根據(jù)上一句中“the tree was hung with fruits and full of life”可知，那棵樹上掛滿了果實，充滿了生機，所以此處是“人們會對它感到滿意的”，所以此處使用be satisfied with。故選C。

【8】句意：男人向他的四個兒子解釋說，他們都是正確的，但他們只看到了樹生命中的一個季節(jié)。

all所有；both（兩者）都；either（兩者中的）任何一個。根據(jù)句中“his four sons”可知，此處是“男人向四個兒子解釋說，他們都是正確的”，句中them代指his four sons，總數(shù)大于三，所以此處使用all。故選A。

【9】句意：他告訴他們，他們不能僅僅依照一個季節(jié)來判斷一棵樹或一個人。

with和，用；at在（某處）；by依照，從……看。根據(jù)句中“judge a tree or a person”和“only one season”可知，此處是“不能僅僅依照一個季節(jié)來判斷一棵樹或一個人”，所以此處使用介詞by。故選C。

【10】句意：如果你在寒冷的冬天放棄，你將失去春天的希望，夏天的美麗，秋天的豐收。

miss錯過，失去；enjoy享受；get得到。根據(jù)句中“give up”和“the hope of spring, the beauty of summer and the harvest(收獲) of autumn”可知，此處是“如果你在寒冷的冬天放棄，你將失去春天的希望，夏天的美麗和秋天的豐收”，所以此處使用動詞miss。故選A。
