解答 21-25 EADCF
21.E承上启下题.根据上文The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities.可知这匹马很美已经有很多优点以及下文特别是它想把自己变成世界上最美的马;根据其后的一句话it especially wanted to become the most beautiful horse in the world.可知"它特别想要成为世界上最漂亮的马",可以看出它整天想着自己能够更完美.故选E.
22.A联系上下文.根据其前面的一句话"你给以我美丽,你已经给以我其它好的品质",以及下文I would be extremely,extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.可知本句为A,对上帝给予它的表示感谢.故选A.
23.D语境辨析题.根据前后句可知,上帝说:"我很乐意帮助你"下文马提出了自己的几个部位需要变得更完美.D项:上帝问它在哪些方面需要改变.故选D.
24.C联系上下文.根据上文提示"Oh,no,I do not want to become a camel.我不想变成骆驼;以及后面As a horse,everybody appreciated my good qualities."作为一匹马,每个人都欣赏我好的品质".C项:我希望你再把我变成一匹马.符合文意.故选C.
25.F联系下文题.根据后一句话if you cry for a longer neck and legs,this is what will happen.可知如果你为长脖子和长腿哭喊,这个就会发生.F项:Never try to receive more than I have given you.不要奢求更多.故选F.
