【解析】
本文为一篇寓言故事。讲述一匹马已经很漂亮了，但它想让神把它变得更漂亮，请求神把它的脖子变长，腿变长变瘦，在此要求下神把它变成了一只骆驼，于是它又请求神把它变回马，但神告诉它这就是它想要变成的样子，骆驼虽然没有马好看，但它也有自己的责任感。
【1】句意：但它希望在各个方面都更完美。
根据空后“It especially wanted to become the most beautiful horse in the world”可知，它特别想成为世界上最漂亮的马；根据空前“The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities.”可知，这匹马已经很漂亮，也有许多好品质。所以“它希望在各个方面都更完美”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【2】句意：我太感谢你了。
根据空前句“You have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. 你给了我美丽。 你给了我其它好品质。”可知，此处是对上帝给予它的表示感谢，“I’m so thankful to you”符合语境。故选A。
【3】句意：告诉我你想怎样改变。
根据后文“My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer … look more beautiful in my lower body”可知，这是马在说在哪些方面做改变，所以空处是上帝问它在哪些方面需要改变，“Tell me in what way you want to be changed.”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【4】句意：我希望你能再把我变成一匹马。
根据前文“I do not want to become a camel我不想成为一头骆驼”和后面“As a horse, everybody appreciated(欣赏) my good qualities.作为一匹马，每个人都欣赏我好的品质”可知，空处是说它想再变回一匹马，“I wish you to change me into a horse again.”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【5】句意：永远不要试图得到比我给你的更多。
根据前文“You have become a camel.你已经变成了一只骆驼”及后面“if you cry for a longer neck and legs如果你为长脖子和长腿哭喊”，结合选项可知空处是说不要再有更多的要求，“Never try to get more than I have given you.”符合上下文语境。故选B。
