解析:

【小题1】happen to do 表示“碰巧做……、偶然遇到……”。

【小题2】根据故事情节，小女孩停了一会后， 意识到雁妈妈不会再回到此处。

【小题3】意识到雁妈妈不再回来，小女孩便决定将蛋带回家。

【小题4】根据下文的故事情节叙述可知，女孩把蛋带回家后小心翼翼地将其孵化，所以她将雁蛋放在温暖处。

【小题5】根据情节，几天以后，小雁破壳出世。

【小题6】小雁破壳出世诞生。

【小题7】由于大雁出世时所看到的活的东西往往被认为是它们的妈妈，所以， 这个小女孩就理所当然地被小雁认为是它们的妈妈。

【小题8】随着小雁一天天长大，grow表示“长大、成长”。

【小题9】lead sb to do 表示“致使某人做”，其他选项不符和语境。

【小题10】虽然小女孩能让小雁在草丛中嬉闹，可她并不能教它们飞翔。

【小题11】她的这种顾虑与日俱增， 无论是在睡梦中还是清醒不睡时。此处的选择取决于和in her dreams的对应。

【小题12】从后面的冒号可以看出，后面的内容应该是小女孩想到的办法和主意

【小题15】父亲决定亲自驾飞机领飞，可是小雁们并不能辨认是领飞。

【小题16】小雁非但认不出是领飞，相反干脆就在草丛中睡起大觉来。

【小题17】根据情节， 应该是小女孩爬上飞机。

【小题18】小女孩发动飞机后，飞机应该很快飞离地面。

【小题19】由于小雁的妈妈飞走，所以小雁也急切地振翅欲飞。

【小题20】set out to do 表示“开始、着手做”，根据语境，此时小雁也开始振翅飞翔。
