解析：

(1)	根据下文的故事可知，小河是乌龟的“家”。
(2)	would表示过去习惯性动作，这里指孔雀每天喝完水就展开美丽的羽毛跳舞。
(3)	根据常识可知孔雀跳舞时是展开羽毛的，此处意为“他向朋友展示他美丽的羽毛”。
(4)	根据下文一个猎人将孔雀抓住，所以是倒霉的一天。
(5)	根据后面的“market”可知，猎人要将孔雀带走。
(6)	对于弱小的孔雀来说应该是祈求猎人，不可能命令猎人。
(7)	根据上下文可知，as在句中表示原因。
(8)	根据下文took him to the tortoise可知，猎人答应了孔雀见乌龟最后一面的要求。
(9)	根据该段的最后will you let my friend go可找到答案。let someone go为固定短语“放过某人”。
(10)	根据空格后的that was his means of livelihood可知是猎人说的话，所以用saying。
(11)	根据猎人的回答可知，猎人同意乌龟提出的交换条件，所以用certainly，意思为“当然、一定”。
(12)	根据选项动词结合乌龟的动作可知用dive，表示“潜入水中”。
(13)	根据后句he freed the peacock immediately可知，乌龟给猎人的珍珠大大出乎他的期望，所以用beyond。
(14)	根据下文可知猎人又回到乌龟的住处。
(15)	根据下文猎人所说的话可知，他认为上次得到的太少，不够作为放过孔雀的酬劳，所以答案为paid。
(16)	根据后句unless a pearl which is similar to that one was offered to him, he would catch the peacock again可知猎人在威胁。
(17)	根据与himself的搭配只有用hide，而且符合语境。
(18)	根据文章的结尾可知乌龟没有答应猎人的要求，可推测乌龟对猎人的贪婪不满。
(19)	insist on表示“坚持做某事”，go on, move on, keep on都表示“继续做某事”，根据猎人的威胁应为坚持自己的要求。
(20)	根据乌龟将原先的珍珠要回，可知是为了让猎人相信他会去找一个和原来的一模一样的珍珠。exact match意思为“一模一样，完全吻合”。 　　本文通过一则寓言故事告诉大家：人万万不可贪心。
