【解析】

本文主要講述了作者對石榴這種水果認(rèn)識(shí)的改變，從而懂得評判事物不能只看外表。

【1】句意：在看了很長時(shí)間這個(gè)水果以后，我說：“為什么你買這么丑的水果？為什么不買蘋果?……”

said說；thought想；called打電話；spoke說（某種語言）；說話�？蘸笫侵苯右�語，因此此空表示“說”，用say引出。故選A。

【2】句意：石榴沒有蘋果那么好看。

smell聞起來；sound聽起來；look看起來；feel感覺。根據(jù)“After I had a long look at the fruit…”可知作者看了水果之后說的，因此用“看起來”。故選C。

【3】句意：他僅僅笑了。

even甚至；still仍然；just僅僅；again再一次。根據(jù)“When Father heard my words, he said nothing.””可知爸爸面對的我的質(zhì)疑，什么也沒說，僅僅笑了笑。故選C。

【4】句意：當(dāng)我們到家的時(shí)候，他帶我進(jìn)到廚房，用刀切開了一個(gè)石榴。

with用（某種工具）；on在……上；關(guān)于；by通過（某種方法）；in用（語言、工具的材料）。根據(jù)賓語a knife可知，此處表示用某種工具，with和in都有用工具的含義，但是in常常用來指具體的材料，例如in ink。故選A。

【5】句意：現(xiàn)在我將向你展示它真正的一面。

show展示；answer回答；find找到；invite邀請。根據(jù)“When we got home, he took me into the kitchen and cut open one of the pomegranates with a knife.””可知爸爸把我?guī)У綇N房，切開水果，向我“展示”。故選A。

【6】句意：水果的里面和它的外面完全不同。

far遠(yuǎn)的；free自由的；special特別的；different不同的。根據(jù)“And each seed looked like a beautiful, shiny ruby (紅寶石).””可知作者認(rèn)為石榴的里面是漂亮的，而認(rèn)為它外表是丑陋的，因此里面和外面是完全不同的。故選D。

【7】句意：每個(gè)“空間”擁有很多的種子。

brought拿來；held擁有；保留；took拿走；stood站在。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，石榴的每個(gè)空間是有很多的種子的，因此用hold表示。故選B。

【8】句意：你也一定要看看它的內(nèi)在。

inside里面；indoors屋里，復(fù)數(shù)；outdoors外面；indoor屋里。根據(jù)“What was inside the fruit was completely different from its outside.””可知，此處是通過石榴的外表和內(nèi)在引發(fā)的感想，因此此處是與outside的inside。故選A。

【9】句意：我突然發(fā)現(xiàn)爸爸的話不止是指水果，還指一些像石榴一樣不漂亮的人。

so因此；until直到；but但是；if如果。not only…but also表示“不但……而且”固定短語。故選C。

【10】句意：但是他們?nèi)匀挥忻利惖男撵`。

faces臉；rooms房間；words語言；hearts心靈。此處借石榴比喻人，他們像石榴一樣，外表不漂亮，但是內(nèi)在漂亮。即一些外表不漂亮的人，擁有一顆美麗的心靈。故選D。
