【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一个老人让他的四个儿子在不同的季节去看同一棵梨树，结果四个儿子观察到的现象是完全不一样的。这个故事告诉我们看事物要全面，不能片面地看。
1 C 通过下文可知这个老人让四个儿子轮番去看同一棵梨树，再根据文章最后他给出的结论可知，这个老人是希望他的儿子们能学会不要太快下结论。故选C。
2 D 根据文中的“The eldest son”“the second”和“the third”可知，此处指最年幼的儿子。故选D。
3 B 根据下文四个儿子对那棵梨树的形容可知，这里指的是让他们描述自己所看到的一切。故选B。
4 A 根据上文中的“The eldest son went out in winter”和“the tree was ugly”可知，大儿子是在冬天去的，梨树很丑且树上什么也没有。故选A。
5 D 根据空后的“buds(芽)”可知，此处表达的是绿芽，应用green。
