分析 本文主要讲述一个孤独的女孩在丛林里救了两只受伤的鸟．她将它们带回家，精心照顾，它们很快恢复了健康．一天，她将鸟笼打开，其中一只飞了出去，当它飞回时，她用力地抓住了它，但用力过猛，把它给弄死了．另一只也害怕被杀死，在笼里来回移动．最后，女孩放了它，但它在空中飞了几圈后，轻轻地落在了女孩的肩上．
解答 61．walked 考查动词时态．全文讲述的是过去事情，用一般过去时态．
62．to be saved 考查动词不定式． two injured songbirds与save之间动宾关系，用动词不定式的一般被动式．
63．attending 考查现在分词．she与attend之间是主谓关系，用现在分词作状语．
64．away 考查固定描述．fly away意为"离开，飞离"，是固定搭配．
65．that 考查强调句．英语强调句型：It is/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其他部分．
66．being killed 考查动名词．of是介词，后接动词时用动名词形式，且the other bird与kill之间是动宾关系，用动名词的被动式．
67．for 考查介词．desire后可接动词不定式、"of+v-ing""for+n．"作定语．
68．as/though 考查连词．as引导让步状语从句时，as意为"虽然…但是"，"纵使…"之意"，"尽管"，通常从句要倒装，倒装的方法是将从句的表语或状语放在as之前，though也可用于这样的结构中．
69．enjoyment 考查名词．根据bird's，即名词所有格后接名词．
70．softly 考查副词．land是动词，用副词修饰．
