一、阅读理解。
A
In September 2023, the ground under our feet “shook” for more than a week, but we probably did not feel it at the time. Now, scientists have found that it was because of global warming (全球变暖).
At the time, scientists around the world noticed a seismic wave (地震波). It came from the Earth’s crust (地壳). It is the outer layer of our planet, a bit like the skin of an apple. This wave lasted for nine days and went across the whole world. It was strange because most seismic waves usually last only minutes or hours.
To find out the reason, 68 scientists across 15 countries and regions worked together. They found that it all started with a landslide (山体滑坡) in a fjord (峡湾) in eastern Greenland on Sept 16, 2023. Because of global warming, a glacier (冰川) at the foot of the mountain in the fjord became too thin to hold up the rocks above. So, the 1,200-meter-high mountain peak fell apart. Rocks and ice that could fill 10,000 swimming pools fell into the fjord. This caused a big wave up to 110 meters high.
Luckily, nobody got hurt. The scientists believe more such events will happen in the future because the world is getting hotter and hotter.

答案
1. C 画线词所在的句子句意为“2023年9月，我们脚下的大地震动了一个多星期，但那时我们极可能没感觉到它（it）”。根据句意，可判断it指代“大地的震动”。
2. D 由第一段第二句、第三段第二句可知，震动是由于全球变暖导致的冰川山体滑坡造成的，所以，随着地球越来越热，更多这样的震动在将来还会发生。意即：全球变暖将持续给世界带来变化。
3. A 通读全文可知，本文主要介绍格陵兰岛山体滑坡给全球带来的震动。文章话题和自然相关。
2. D 由第一段第二句、第三段第二句可知，震动是由于全球变暖导致的冰川山体滑坡造成的，所以，随着地球越来越热，更多这样的震动在将来还会发生。意即：全球变暖将持续给世界带来变化。
3. A 通读全文可知，本文主要介绍格陵兰岛山体滑坡给全球带来的震动。文章话题和自然相关。
解析
【解析】
1. 代词指代题：根据第一段第一句“In September 2023, the ground under our feet ‘shook’ for more than a week, but we probably did not feel it at the time.”，句中“it”指代前文提到的“the shaking of the ground”，故选C。
2. 细节理解题：由文章内容可知，此次地壳震动源于全球变暖导致的格陵兰岛山体滑坡，且最后一段提到“the scientists believe more such events will happen in the future because the world is getting hotter and hotter”，说明全球变暖将持续给世界带来变化，故选D。
3. 推理判断题：本文主要介绍全球变暖引发的山体滑坡导致全球范围地壳震动的自然现象，话题属于自然范畴，因此可能在杂志的自然板块读到，故选A。
