【解析】Ellis先生很懷念過去的日子，那時候他最喜歡的一種小鳥經(jīng)常在他家附近的樹上做窩，他喜歡看這些小鳥。但是現(xiàn)在事情變了，樹沒了，小鳥也不來了。雖然Ellis先生知道現(xiàn)在事情變了，但他還是忘不了過去的日子。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中But he never forgets the old days. He likes to talk about them可知，Ellis先生忘不了過去的日子，他總是喜歡談?wù)撃切┤兆�。由此可知選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中Every spring the robins would come. Thousands of them would fly up to the north from the south. They spent the winter in the south可知，這種小鳥在南方過冬天。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中Some would build their nests(巢) in the trees near our houses可知，一些小鳥在樹上建造他們的巢。因此應(yīng)選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的最后“ Now there are too many houses and too many roads. There are no places for the robins. They don’t come any more.”可知，現(xiàn)在有了很多的房子和路，沒有小鳥們的地方了，他們就不再來了。由此可知應(yīng)選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的文意可知，Ellis先生總是很懷念過去的日子，那時候他最喜歡的小鳥會在他房子附近的樹上做巢，而現(xiàn)在他的家鄉(xiāng)發(fā)生了很大的變化，樹沒了，小鳥也不來了，但是他還是忘不了過去的日子。由此可見，他不喜歡這個變化。故選D。
