22、Is my article mid or valid? If you can answer this question, you already are used to what we term “algospeak.” As more and more online users join social media platforms such as TikTok (抖音), algospeak continues to grow. But what is it, what do these words mean?
Algospeak is a coded language or slang used online. For some communities it is the only way to talk safely about sensitive subjects. Due to the rise of algorithmic censorship (算法筛查) in media, algospeak developed as a way to prevent robot from deleting their videos and messages. Users had to get creative to avoid deletion. This means that as long as there is censorship, there will be a new language to avoid it.
Further, new slang created on social media platforms fits itself into everyday life. Even if you are not writing a message on TikTok, you may have caught yourself using phrases from the app in your daily life. This connection between people all over the globe allows for shared vocabulary. It also has the potential to completely change the way we as English speakers speak. Here is some new slang popularized by TikTok.
Bussin’ (adj.) — something is really good, usually referring to food
Mid (adj.) — ordinary, not good or bad
Sheesh (ex.) — response either meaning disbelief or surprise, can be positive or negative
Valid (adj.) — something very good or meets a very high standard; a respectable opinion
No one would have expected artificial intelligence (AI) would be the catalyst (催化剂) for change but it is. The combination of not only censorship but also high connectivity birthed a new language. Some older generations can’t even understand what the youngest generation says because of the lack of access to the new language. The gap between English before social media and English as it is now is huge, and it continues to grow.
So, what should we expect for the future? Will censorship loosen or will the English language continue to develop from digital media? Time can only tell.
【1】What contributed to the appearance of algospeak?
A.The need for netizens to escape censorship.
B.The desire for a shared vocabulary around the world.
C.The authority’s demand for creating a new language.
D.The social media’s intention to catch public attention.
【2】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.AI needs catalyst to develop.
B.Social media birthed a new language.
C.Algospeak may cause communication obstacles.
D.Strict censorship is a barrier to interpersonal relationships.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of algospeak?
A.Optimistic.
B.Indifferent.
C.Doubtful.
D.Unclear.
【4】What can we infer about algospeak?
A.It offers a new outlook on life.
B.It has reshaped the digital media.
C.Its development is associated with AI.
D.It has won popularity among all ages.

26、读后续写
A long time ago, there was a huge (大的) apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…The little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree. One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. The boy told the tree that he wanted the toys but he didn't have money. The tree asked the boy to pick all the apples and sell them. The boy did it and left happily. He didn't come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned again and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I’m said and getting tired. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Paragraph1:
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.

This is a story of everyone. The tree is actually our parent.
