【2】B

【3】A

【4】E

【解析】

这篇短文通过一个父亲轮番派遣他的4个儿子到很远的地方去寻一棵梨树的故事，告诉人们不能以一季来判断树，更不能以一时来判断人，因为人之本质源自他们喜、乐、爱的根本--只有在其生子了结时才可盖棺论定。倘若你在冬季就已放弃，那无疑会错过春季的生机、夏季的美丽和秋季的收益。勿为一季的痛苦而破坏了所有的欢乐。

【1】句意：于是打发他们去，看远处的一棵梨树。

名词考查。结合that引导的定语从句，修饰tree，结合away用所给的单词distance距离，结合句意So he sent them，to go and look at a pear tree that was a great___1___away．派遣他的4个儿子到很远的地方去寻一棵梨树，故选D。

【2】句意：当他们都走了回来后，大儿子说这棵树看起来一点也不漂亮，也不挺拔。

形容词考查。结合look和or straight可知这里缺少形容词，结合所给单词用pretty，表示看起来没那么好那么直，故答案是B。

【3】句意：三儿子不同意，说里面装的花闻起来很香，这是他见过的最神奇的东西。

形容词考查。smell是系动词，后加形容词构成系表结构，结合smell闻起来，故用sweet香甜的，故答案是A。

【4】句意：他说那是一个果实下垂的地方，充满了生机和满足感。

名词考查。结合with介词，后加名词，结合He said it was drooping （下垂）with___4___， full of life and satisfaction．和常识可知是满是果实下垂。故答案是E。
