【解析】

本文是一则故事，讲述了一位男人让他的四个儿子分别在不同的季节去看梨树，看过梨树以后，四个儿子分别有不同的看法，虽然他们看到的都是真的，但是每个人说的又各不相同，由此告诉我们看全面看待事物。

【1】句意：他希望他的儿子们能学会不要太快速地判断事情。

slowly缓慢地；quickly快速地；seriously认真地。根据下文中“He told them that they could not judge a tree or a person by only one season.”可知，这个男人告诉他的儿子们不能仅仅依照一个季节来判断一棵树或一个人，也就是告诉他们不要过于快速地判断事情，所以此处使用副词quickly。故选B。

【2】句意：当他们回到家，他把他们叫到一起，描述他们所看到的。

how怎么样；why为什么；what什么。根据句中describe和“they had seen”可知，此处是“描述他们看到的内容，也就是描述他们看到了什么”，所以此处使用疑问词what。故选C。

【3】句意：大儿子说那棵树又丑又荒凉。

ugly丑陋的；beautiful漂亮的；wonderful精彩的。句中and是并列连词，结合句中stark可知，此处是“这棵树又丑又荒凉”，描述这棵树不值得一看，所以此处使用形容词ugly。故选A。

【4】句意：二儿子说，树上长满了绿色的嫩芽，充满了希望。

difference不同点；hope希望；experience经验，经历。根据句中“the tree was covered with green buds”可知，绿色代表着希望，所以此处是“树上长满了绿色的嫩芽，充满了希望”，所以此处使用名词hope。故选B。

【5】句意：他说它们闻起来很香，看起来很漂亮。

tasted尝起来；felt 感觉；smelled闻起来。根据前一句中flowers和该句中sweet可知，此处是“花闻起来很香，看起来很漂亮”，所以此处使用系动词smelled。故选C。

【6】句意：最后一个儿子不同意他们的看法，说那棵树挂满了果实，充满了生机。

first第一；last最后的；short短的。根据上文中“The first son…The second son…The third son…”以及“There was a man who had four sons.”可知，这个人一共有四个儿子，前三个儿子分别表达了自己的看法，所以此处是“最后一个儿子不同意他们的看法”，所以此处使用last。故选B。

【7】句意：人们会对它感到满意的。

be friendly to对……友好的；be worried about担心……；be satisfied with对……感到满意的。根据上一句中“the tree was hung with fruits and full of life”可知，那棵树上挂满了果实，充满了生机，所以此处是“人们会对它感到满意的”，所以此处使用be satisfied with。故选C。

【8】句意：男人向他的四个儿子解释说，他们都是正确的，但他们只看到了树生命中的一个季节。

all所有；both（两者）都；either（两者中的）任何一个。根据句中“his four sons”可知，此处是“男人向四个儿子解释说，他们都是正确的”，句中them代指his four sons，总数大于三，所以此处使用all。故选A。

【9】句意：他告诉他们，他们不能仅仅依照一个季节来判断一棵树或一个人。

with和，用；at在（某处）；by依照，从……看。根据句中“judge a tree or a person”和“only one season”可知，此处是“不能仅仅依照一个季节来判断一棵树或一个人”，所以此处使用介词by。故选C。

【10】句意：如果你在寒冷的冬天放弃，你将失去春天的希望，夏天的美丽，秋天的丰收。

miss错过，失去；enjoy享受；get得到。根据句中“give up”和“the hope of spring, the beauty of summer and the harvest(收获) of autumn”可知，此处是“如果你在寒冷的冬天放弃，你将失去春天的希望，夏天的美丽和秋天的丰收”，所以此处使用动词miss。故选A。
