Take Japan, for instance. Its traditional architectural paradigm reflects particular cultural values 32 typical communication patterns. Rooted in the belief that human existence should remain in harmony with the natural world, Japanese buildings have historically been designed to merge inconspicuously with the surrounding landscape. The central space, the sitting room, generally opens directly onto a garden through expansive sliding doors, thereby dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. One, therefore, has the impression that the house and the garden flow into one. In addition to spatial continuity, adaptability is equally paramount for Japanese homes. The sitting room of a Japanese traditional family home is typically spacious and may be subdivided by partially transparent screens, 33 shoji, allowing for considerable versatility. This principle of modularity carries over to the traditional flooring of Japanese homes through the use of tatami mats, which 34 versatile surfaces for both sitting and sleeping. Such design features enable flexibility in arranging living quarters to accommodate extended family groups or to create semi-private areas. Thus, the architecture facilitates both collective interaction and private contemplation. Despite the profound transformations in Japanese society in recent decades, housing styles continue to preserve traditional elements. Research has demonstrated that the majority of Japanese still express a preference for their own cultural conventions, 35 elements of traditional design incorporated into contemporary homes and professional spaces whenever possible.

Generation from low-carbon power sources—renewables plus nuclear—surpassed 40% of global electricity in 2024 for the first time since the 1940s, while renewable power sources added a record 858 terawatt hours (TWh) of generation in 2024, rising by 49% from the previous 577 TWh in 2022. This rapid growth course underscores the irreversible momentum of the energy transition. The United States exemplifies this transformational dynamism, with 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid in 2025, a nearly 30% increase from 2024. Furthermore, solar continued to lead the energy transition in Q1 2025, representing over 69% of new capacity, its highest quarter ever, while the U.S. solar power generation is forecast to grow 75% from 163 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in 2025. This shift arose from an interplay of environmental imperatives and economic catalysts that collectively transcend traditional cost-benefit analyses. From an ecological perspective, renewable energy symbolizes a critical intervention for atmospheric carbon reduction, enabling nations to achieve their goals under international climate protocols while mitigating long-term environmental degradation. Economically, it may also create employment opportunities, reviving the regional economy while reducing imported hydrocarbon dependencies. The good news is that battery storage technology has witnessed a quantum leap. In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could reach a record 18.2 GW. Meanwhile, battery storage additions nearly doubled in 2024. These developments address critics' concerns about grid reliability, as renewables-based electricity generation is set to overtake coal-fired generation in 2025, and in 2026, wind and solar power generation are each poised to surpass power generation from nuclear.

36. What is the primary purpose of this article? (A) To argue that battery storage technology is still inadequate. (B) To criticize the slow progress of renewable energy development. (C) To compare renewable energy costs with traditional energy sources. (D) To demonstrate the rapid and irreversible growth of renewable energy.

37. How will the U.S. solar power generation change from 2023 to 2025? (A) It will remain stationary until Q4 2025. (B) Its growth will increase sharply by more than 70%. (C) It will triple from 163 billion kWh to over 500 billion kWh by 2025. (D) It will decrease due to increased competition from wind and nuclear power.

38. What does the phrase "quantum leap" in the fourth paragraph mean? (A) A temporary setback. (B) A gradual improvement. (C) A significant breakthrough. (D) An unexpected challenge.
