　　32．B写作意图题．根据常识可知，一提到复活节，人们自然会想到复活节兔子，再看后文大篇幅介绍几种兔子的处境，不难看出开篇提及复活节是为了引出有关兔子的话题．故选B．33．A词义猜测题．根据画线后的句子andsomeresearchersfoundthatrisingtemperaturesarehavingharmfuleffectsonatleastfivespeciesofrabbitsintheUS．可知一些研究人员发现，气温升高至少对美国的五种兔子有不良影响．所以罪魁祸首是气候变化，culprit相当于criminal，意为"灾难制造者，犯罪者"．故选A．34．D细节理解题．根据文章倒数第三段的theywouldnaturallymigrate（迁徙）tohigherground-buttheyalreadyoccupythemountaintops．Theycan"tgoanyhigher．他们会很自然地迁移到更高的地面，但他们已经占据了山顶．他们不能再高了．和倒数第二段第二句的后半部分buttherearenotsuitableplantsforthemtomovehigher，sotheyarestuckinthemiddle．但是没有合适的植物让它们迁移到更高的地方，所以它们被夹在中间．可知，两种兔子面临的问题是不能往更高处去，故选D．35．B作者态度题．文章首尾呼应，作者对兔子的生存环境充满了担忧与关注．A项意为"赞许的"；B项意为"关心的，担忧的"；C项意为"热情的"；D项意为"怀疑的"．故选B．
