【解析】

1. day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds 提到小女孩发现了两只饥饿的小鸟，下一句She cared them with love and the birds grew strong提到她用心关爱小鸟，可知此处是说她要将小鸟带回家照顾。故选E

2. larger and the stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.可知鸟从鸟笼里飞出来了。所以上一句应该是鸟笼打开了，这样鸟才能分出来。故选F。

3. 突然，她感到鸟的呼吸很弱。由下文She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.可知，小女孩张开手时，小鸟已经死了，说明刚才她抓到小鸟时，小鸟应该是奄奄一息了。故选B。

4. bird circled once, twice, three times说小鸟在空中飞了几次。 说明小鸟已经放出来了。故选G。

5. 她再也没有感到失落了。上端中提到，她放走了小鸟。因为她很爱这些鸟儿，放走它们，心里也会难过，失落。但当她看到被给予自由的小鸟时那样的欢乐时，她的这种伤心和失落也就没有了。故选C。
