【解析】這篇短文通過一個父親輪番派遣他的4個兒子到很遠的地方去尋一棵梨樹的故事。告訴人們不能以一季來判斷樹，更不能以一時來判斷人，因為人之本質(zhì)源自他們喜、樂、愛的根本--只有在其生之了結時才可蓋棺論定，倘若你在冬季就已放棄，那無疑會錯過春季的生機、夏季的美麗和秋季的收益，勿為一季的痛苦而破壞了所有的歡樂。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文開頭的句子“There is a man who has four sons.”可知，那個人有4個兒子，故答案為D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“The first son goes in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer and the youngest son in autumn.”可知，最小的兒子是在秋天去的，故答案為C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“The second son says no, it is covered(覆蓋) with green buds(花蕾) .”可知，第二個兒子看到的是樹上開滿了綠色的花蕾，故答案為A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段的句子“The man then says to his sons that they are all wrong, because they each see just one season in the tree's life.” 那人對他的兒子們說，他們都錯了，因為他們每個人在樹上只看到一個季節(jié)。故答案為B。

【5】主旨大意題。短文通過一個父親輪番派遣他的4個兒子到很遠的地方去尋一棵梨樹的故事。告訴人們不能以一季來判斷樹，更不能以一時來判斷人，故答案為A。
