Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
This year，it felt as if every good movie was also an argument for why movies matter.They reward your attention，engage your feelings and respect your intelligence.
Petite Maman(Céline Sciamma)
The death of a grandmother，the sorrow of a parent，the acquisition of a new friend—these ordinary experiences，occurring in the life of an 8-year-old girl，provide the basic structure of this spare，perfect film.Whether it’s best described as a modern-dress fairy tale，or a low-tech time travel fantasy is up to you.What’s certain is that the performance of the cast causes maximum emotional impact.(Coming to theaters.)
Summer of Soul(Questlove)
This documentary about a series of open-air concerts in Harlem in 1969 connecting impressive performances with interviews with musicians and audience members，is a shot of pure joy.But the film is more than a time capsule: It’s a history lesson and an argument for why art matters，and what it can do，especially in time of anxiety.(Streaming on Hulu.)
Bring Your Own Brigade(Lucy Walker)
This documentary about California wildfires of September 2021 is also，almost by accident，an exploration of the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The picture Walker paints is complicated，partly because that’s the way people are: panicked，generous，stupid and brave.The movie is hardly optimistic，but its open-mindedness provides a buffer against despair.(In theaters.)
The Velvet Underground(Todd Haynes)
Like “Summer of Soul”，this documentary revisits the music of the 1960s in a spirit that is more historical than just recalling the past.Rather than gathering present-day musicians to celebrate their ancestors，Haynes concentrates on the Velvet，a band，and on the artistic scene that inspired them.In particular，he focuses on their connections to the experimental cinema that boomed in New York.(Streaming on Apple TV＋.)

People living in informal settlements across the world often go to dangerous lengths to secure clean water and electricity.Now，Henry Glogau，a New Zealand-based architectural designer，has created a striking skylight(天窗) that can provide both safely.
In Chile，around 110,000 families live in around 800 informal settlements often built around farther parts of the larger cities.In these remote，informal settlements，electricity as well as water isn’t reliably available.Besides，many Chileans in informal settlements also board up their windows for privacy and security，limiting the amount of natural light.This means that even during the day，informal homes can be difficult places to meet，work or study.
Glogau’s design aims to use Chile’s abundance in two natural resources—seawater and light—to create the skylight that can help solve the problem.
During the day，the skylight is powered by a small solar panel，with the center part of the skylight also functioning to desalinate(淡化) seawater via the evaporation and condensing(蒸发和冷凝) process.Water can then be tapped from the skylight to be used for consumption.
However，during the night，when light is in even more demand，the skylight can continue to function.The salt generated from the desalination process is stored within special tubes containing special metals.The salt reacts with these metals to create twelve “salt batteries”which can continue to power the skylight，thus providing lighting for living，work and study.
Currently，the skylight is being tested in informal settlements in Antofagasta，Chile.However，informal settlements aren’t unique to Chile.According to the United Nations，around 1 billion people live in informal settlement conditions，with roughly 370 million in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia,238 million in sub-Saharan Africa and 227 million in Central and Southern Asia.Naturally，not all of these have access to seawater，but products such as the Solar Desalination Skylight can still point the way to providing necessities that can help improve living conditions and opportunities，at an affordable cost.
