【解析】

莫言是中国著名的作家，他也是第一个获得诺贝尔文学奖的中国人。这篇短文给我们介绍了他的生平经历。

1.根据短文开头“Mo Yan, 57, become the first Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in Literature(文学)on Oct. 11.”和结尾“ The whole nation was so excited because a Chinese writer was announced(宣布)the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on October 11.”可知，10月11日，莫言获得了2012年诺贝尔文学奖。这句话符合文意，故选A。

2.根据短文开头“ Mo Yan, 57, become the first Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in Literature(文学)on Oct. 11.”可知，莫言是第一个获得诺贝尔奖文学奖的中国人，不是第二个，这个句子是错误的。故选B。

3.根据短文中“ Mo Yan was born in1955 and grew up in Gaomi in Shandong.”可知，莫言是在山东省高密市长大的，不是陕西省西安市；而且莫言出生于1955年，他获得诺贝尔奖的那年57岁，并不是现在57岁，故这句话是错误的。故选B。

4.根据短文中“ His parents were poor farmers. At the age of 12, he had to leave school and start work””可知，莫言出生在一个贫穷的家庭，12岁就辍学了。这句话符合文意，故选A。

5.根据短文中“Mo Yan was born in1955…In 1976, Mo joined the army and began to study literature and write.”可知，莫言出生于1955年，1976年参军，那个时候是21岁，不是12岁，因此这句话是错误的。故选B。
