It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the

year’s biggest blockbusters so far.

Kong: Skull Island

A reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem

version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix,

this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.

Release Date:3/10/17

Beauty and the Beast

Director Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all

remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney

story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.

The Fate of the Furious

There was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s

character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in

action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another

go.

Release Date:4/14/17

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high

school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil

War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark,

played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.

If you could travel back in time, which period of history would you visit? It’s a great question to ask your

friends, and time travel is the subject of many science fiction films. Of course, sci-fi is familiar to most of us,

butwhat is cli-fi? The simple answer is climate fiction which focuses on the subject of climate change.

Many of the cli-fi examples we watch tend to be disaster films. It could be solar flares (太阳耀斑), ice ages

devastating (摧毁) the planet, extreme flooding swamping the earth with water, or super-storms that threaten life

as we know it. While films and novels of this style are often subject to the typical images of a hero or heroine

battling to save the day, what sets it apart from most sci-fi films is that the plots will often draw on apparently

reasonable outcomes in the near future.

Climate change and the potential threats have long been established. Some believe that the issue of climate

change has even led to more fans watching films to learn more about what's happening to the world – seeing it as

a form of edutainment. A study conducted by the Yale programme on Climate Change Communication tested the

effects that two climate fiction novels can have on its readers and found “significant positive effects” in terms of

their attitudes and beliefs towards the climate crisis – for example, understanding global warming will harm them

and future generations.

Most climate films are not only extremely popular action films, but also cause our fear of what some see as

the approaching end of the world. This sounds bad, but according to a study conducted on 310 adults in the US,

watching such scary films can help us feel more prepared and less alone in situations such as the pandemic (疫情).

So, it looks like cli-fi is hereto stay – and there seem to be some benefits. Whether it’s there to educate, entertain

or prepare you for a climate crisis, it might have a role to play. 4. Which of the following may be the subject of cli-fi?

A. Time travel. B. Global warming.

C. Weather forecast. D. Economic climate.

5. What can we learn about cli-fi films from paragraph 2?

A. They are often about extreme natural disasters.

B. They want to show that man can conquer nature.

C. They usually have similar plots with sci-fi films.

D. They can show the true near future of the world.

6. Why is the study conducted by the Yale programme mentioned in paragraph 3?
