本文為一篇寓言故事。講述一匹馬已經(jīng)很漂亮了，但它想讓神把它變得更漂亮，請(qǐng)求神把它的脖子變長(zhǎng)，腿變長(zhǎng)變瘦，在此要求下神把它變成了一只駱駝，于是它又請(qǐng)求神把它變回馬，但神告訴它這就是它想要變成的樣子，駱駝雖然沒(méi)有馬好看，但它也有自己的責(zé)任感。

【1】句意：但它希望在各個(gè)方面都更完美。

根據(jù)空后“It especially wanted to become the most beautiful horse in the world”可知，它特別想成為世界上最漂亮的馬；根據(jù)空前“The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities.”可知，這匹馬已經(jīng)很漂亮，也有許多好品質(zhì)。所以“它希望在各個(gè)方面都更完美”符合上下文語(yǔ)境。故選E。

【2】句意：我太感謝你了。

根據(jù)空前句“You have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. 你給了我美麗。 你給了我其它好品質(zhì)�！笨芍颂幨菍�(duì)上帝給予它的表示感謝，“I’m so thankful to you”符合語(yǔ)境。故選A。

【3】句意：告訴我你想怎樣改變。

根據(jù)后文“My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer … look more beautiful in my lower body”可知，這是馬在說(shuō)在哪些方面做改變，所以空處是上帝問(wèn)它在哪些方面需要改變，“Tell me in what way you want to be changed.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境。故選D。

【4】句意：我希望你能再把我變成一匹馬。

根據(jù)前文“I do not want to become a camel我不想成為一頭駱駝”和后面“As a horse, everybody appreciated(欣賞) my good qualities.作為一匹馬，每個(gè)人都欣賞我好的品質(zhì)”可知，空處是說(shuō)它想再變回一匹馬，“I wish you to change me into a horse again.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境。故選F。

【5】句意：永遠(yuǎn)不要試圖得到比我給你的更多。

根據(jù)前文“You have become a camel.你已經(jīng)變成了一只駱駝”及后面“if you cry for a longer neck and legs如果你為長(zhǎng)脖子和長(zhǎng)腿哭喊”，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知空處是說(shuō)不要再有更多的要求，“Never try to get more than I have given you.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境。故選B。
