1.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Thelocalsthinkit'ssohotbecauseoftheYacumama,oruwatermother一

aspiritwhogivesbirthtowaters一representedbyasnake-head-shapedrockattheoriginoftheheatedwater.（当地

道有沸腾的河流存在，它们总是在火山附近）”以及作者找到沸腾河流Shanaya的细节可知，本文叙述了作

【答案】5.D6.A7.C8.D

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是作者患有不育症，在遇到了一只小兔子后对其精心照顾一段时间后

送到了动物救助站，不久后怀孕并有了一个女儿的故事。

5.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“IfoundhimnestledinthegrasswhileIwaswalkingdownouryard.Sincethe

bunnydecidedtotakeupresidenceonmylawn,Ifeltagenuinesenseofresponsibilityforhim.（当我走在院子里

时，我发现他依偎在草地上。自从兔子决定住在我的草坪上，我就对他有一种真正的责任感。）”可知，因

为兔子把作家家门口的草坪当成了自己的家，所以作者就有了一种责任感。故选D项。

6.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Duringthatfirstweekendthebunnystayedwithus,wetriedourbesttospread

thewordthatwe?dfoundhim.（在第一个周末，兔子和我们在一起，我们尽力传播我们找到他的消息。）”

可知，作者在照顾着小兔子的同时，还在寻找他的主人，由此可以看出作者很周到，根据“Inthemeantime,

wenamedtherabbitEasterandgavehimhisownbedroom.SometimesIwouldlethimbouncearoundmybed

whileIreadbooksorwatchedTV.（与止匕同时，我们给兔子起名叫复活节，并给了他自己的卧室。有时我会让

他在我看书或看电视时在我的床上蹦蹦跳跳。）”可知，作者给小兔子起了名字，对他精心照顾，由以上信

息可知，作者是一个体贴又关心他人的人。故选A项。

7.推理判断题。根据第二段中的"Inthemeantime,wenamedtherabbitEasterandgavehimhisownbedroom.（与

此同时，我们给兔子起名叫复活节，并给了他自己的卧室。）”可知，作者给小兔子起的名字是“复活节”，

结合倒数第三段中的“Ilearnedthatit'sverycommonforrabbitstobeabandoned,especiallyaroundEaster,when

theyareproducedforamusementandthensimply“letgo”.（我了解至U,兔子被遗弃是很常见的，尤其是在复

活节前后，当他们被生产出来是为了娱乐，然后就被“放走”了。）”可知，这种小兔子经常在“复活节”

前后被遗弃，由此推断，作者给这只小兔子起的名字是“复活节”应该是因为在复活节前后见到的。故选C

项。

8.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Iwasnear-constantlyconsumedbythepainfuldisappointmentofnothavinga

baby-thatis,untiltheEasterweekendof2017,whenarabbitshoweduponourfrontlawn.（我几乎总是被没有孩

子的痛苦失望所吞噬一一直到2017年的复活节周末，一只兔子出现在我们家门前的草坪上。）”可知，作者

在觉得没有孩子感到失望的时候，小兔子出现在她家的草坪上，根据最后一段中的“IamnotsureIbelievein

magic,butwhenIholdmydaughterclosetomeinthemiddleofthenight,Ithinkoftherabbitwetookinthatyear,

andIknowIstillbelieveinhope.（我不确定我是否相信魔法，但是当我在半夜抱着靠近我的女儿时,我想起了

当年我们收养的兔子，我知道我仍然相信希望。）”可知，作者把小兔子送给了救助站后，怀孕并有了一个

女儿，作者还时常想起这只小兔子，由此可知，在本文故事中，小兔子贯穿全文，所以标题为“家门口的

小兔子”符合主题。故选D项。
