【解析】【主旨大意】这记叙文讲述了一位老人让他的四个儿子分别在不同的季节观看同一棵梨树却得出了截然不同的结论，从而得出感悟：人生如树，也有春夏秋冬四季之分。树之四季皆有不同，更何况人之四季呢？所以凡事不要急于下结论。

【1】句意：他想让儿子_________不要过急判断事情。根据下文内容可知是“想让儿子学习不要过急判断事情”，learn符合语境。再结合want sb. to do sth.，故填to learn。

【2】句意：因此他叫_________去观看一棵梨树。根据语境，他让儿子去观看梨树， “儿子”可用代词代替，他有四个儿子，应用复数形式they代替，因为跟在动词told之后，要用宾格形式，故填them。

【3】句意：大儿子冬天去，二儿子春天去，三儿子夏天去，_________儿子秋天去。根据语境，本空应是四儿子，也就是最小的儿子，“最小的”应用young的最高级形式即youngest。

【4】句意：大儿子抱怨说树很_________只有干枯的树枝。本空跟在系动词was后应用形容词，大儿子是冬天看到的梨树，梨树只有干枯的树枝，梨树肯定很丑，难看，故填ugly。

【5】句意：二儿子说树_________花蕾，充满了希望。根据语境二儿子是春天看到的梨树，梨树上全是花蕾，充满生机。“全是……,充满……”也可理解为“被……覆盖”。主句时态为一般过去时，从句时态也应用一般过去时，再结合短语短语be covered with，故填were covered。

【6】句意：三儿子说树上长满了绿色的_________。三儿子是夏天看到的梨树，梨树上应全是绿色的叶子，叶子是可数名词，此处应用复数形式，故填leaves。

【7】句意：最小的儿子说树被压弯了，果实累累。分析句子成分可知heavy fruits在句中作状语，分析备选词汇可知with有此用法，故填with。

【8】句意：这位老人解释说儿子们说的都对，______他们每个人看到的只是树的一个季节。由句意可知，本句是一个转折句，应用but连接，故填but。

【9】句意：他_________他们不能仅凭一个季节判断一棵树或一个人。本句缺少谓语，本空应是一个动词，所给词汇中只有动词tell符合句意，本句表示过去，应用其过去式形式told。

【10】句意：如果在冬天的时候你放弃了，你就会错过春天的希望，夏天的_________，秋天的收获。根据上文三儿子叙述“夏天梨树长满了绿叶，看上去很美”可知本空应填“美丽”，所给词汇中“beautiful”符合句意，本空跟在定冠词the之后，要用beautiful的名词形式即beauty。
