【解析】

Cathy由于忍受不了父母对自己的严格，所以离家出走了，但离开家的日子并不好过。一次Cathy在大街上看到了父母寻找自己粘贴的照片，于是回了家，发现她家的门是开着的，她才知道父母一直在等着她回家。

1.根据下文She couldn’t stand (忍受) that. So she left home quietly on a cold morning.可知，Cathy无法忍受，于是离家出走了。由此可知D选项意思合适，意为“她的父母对她总是非常的严格”，这句话解释了Cathy离家出走的原因。

2.根据上句话She couldn’t take a job可知，Cathy没有工作，因此她只能在大街上乞讨，故应选C，意为：所以她不得不在大街上乞讨了几个星期。

3.根据上句话They walked onto the streets and posted as many photos as they could.可知，Cathy的父母在大街上张贴了很多的照片，寻找Cathy，故应选B，意为：他们从来没有停止寻找她。

4.根据上文Everywhere she went, she could see a big photo of herself on the wall. “Is it my mother? ” She moved nearer and read the words below: I still love you, my dear daughter…可知，Cathy在大街上看到了她自己的照片，知道父母一直在找她，所以她就回家了，故应选A。

5.根据上文To her surprise, the door opened itself.可知，Cathy家的门开着，因为她的父母一直在盼望着她回来，这句话应升华文章的情感，故应选E，意为：父母对孩子的爱之门永远不会关上。
