(2025·江苏省南通市海安市高三期中)In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards adopting eco­friendly practices and promoting sustainable lifestyles. This global trend is fueled by various factors, ranging from heightened environmental awareness to economic advantages.

A primary driver behind the rise of green living is the increasing awareness of environmental issues, particularly the urgent need to address climate change. As people become more informed about the harmful effects of carbon emissions, deforestation, and pollution, there is a collective push toward adopting practices that minimize ecological impact.

Beyond environmental concerns, there are some economic motives driving the shift toward sustainability. For instance, energy­efficient technologies and practices can significantly reduce utility bills over time, making them financially advantageous for homeowners and businesses alike. Additionally, governments and organizations often offer some financial stimuli such as tax credits and subsidies (补贴) to encourage the development and adoption of renewable energy sources.

For example, solar energy has emerged as a frontrunner in the renewable energy sector, attracting widespread interest from homeowners and businesses seeking clean energy solutions. Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The declining costs of solar technology, coupled with advancements in efficiency and storage capabilities, have made solar panels increasingly practical and cost­effective.

Moreover, the power of social influence cannot be underestimated in shaping consumer behavior towards sustainability. Social media platforms and online communities arouse awareness about environmental issues and show innovative green solutions. Individuals are increasingly motivated by peer examples, fostering a collective movement towards greener lifestyles.

These living practices reflect a global commitment to sustainability. By choosing to integrate sustainable practices and technologies into everyday life, individuals and communities can

contribute to lessening climate change and creating a healthier planet for future generations.

(2025·江苏省盐城市八校高三联考)When scientists look for an earthquake's cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it's the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes.

In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes.

“We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well­connected with the start of this earthquake crowds，” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.”

The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan's Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in
