题目分析：这篇短文主要介绍了维克多吃苹果的故事。
小题1:联系上下文可知此处指的是他听老师讲课。结合语境可知本句描述的是客观性动作，故用一般现在时态，主语he是单数第三人称，故谓语动词用单数，根据所给单词，可知填listens，听。
小题2:联系上下文，可知此处指的是他的母亲正在做家务，根据所给单词，可知填动名词doing，做。
小题3:联系后一句描述，可知他的父亲带回来一些吃的东西，根据所给单词，可知填复数名词apples，苹果。
小题4:联系前文，可知此处指代词指的是前文的复数名词apples，故用复数人称代词，做动词宾语，故用宾格形式，填：them，他们。
小题5:结合语境可知他的母亲给了他四个。本句描述的是客观性动作，故用一般现在时态。主语his mother是单数第三人称，故谓语动词用单数，根据所给单词，可知填gives，给。
点评：选词填空一直是英语考试中的难点，得分率比较低。解答此类题型的方法一般就是根据文章前后句子之间意思推断出词义，结合所给单词判断出所缺单词，然后根据该单词在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，进行适当词形变化。注意在叙事性短文中，谓语动词多为一般过去时态及现在完成时态，说明性短文中谓语动词多为一般现在时态。
