Short videos are seeing explosive growth in China and are gradually becoming one of the major ways that Chinese netizens are recording and sharing information.

With the rising popularity,China's Internetregulatorhasstrengthened monitoringafter some were found sharing harmfulcontent.

Kuaishou,a photo and video-sharing app popular amongrural communitiesand migrant workers（农民工），allows users to upload short videos with a duration（持续时间）from 10 seconds to a few minutes each.The contentranges fromcooking,physical exercise and dancingtofamily gatherings.

“We are devoted to recording the daily lives of ordinary people,and giving them a stage to express themselves,”said Su Hua,founder and chief executive of Kuaishou,adding that the app is looking to improve its user experience and attract more new users.

Su said that 87 per cent of Kuaishou's users are of the post-nineties generation.The apprecommendspersonalised contentto users based on their browsing（浏览）history and preferences,with the help of AI technology.

Statistics from data research firm Quest Mobile show short-video platforms enjoyedsharpgrowth in China last year,with the number of usersexceeding410 million,up 116.5 per cent on the previous year.Total time spent on shortvideo apps accounted for5.5per cent of all time spent on mobile apps in2017—up from1.3per cent in2016.

Kuaishou's rival（竞争对手）Douyin has joined the frenzy（狂潮）.The short-video app is owned by Beijing Bytedance Technology,which also owns the Toutiao news app.In addition to Douyin,Toutiao also has other short-video platforms such as Huoshan and Xigua.Both Alibaba Group Holding and Tencent have invested in video content or livestreaming start-ups（初创企业）.

However,this lightning-quick boom has led to a regulatory gap thatcaused concerns aboutthe risk of harmful online content,intellectual propertyviolationsandinadequate supervision.

On April 4 the Cyberspace Administration of China ordered Kuaishou and Huoshan to remove harmful content tocreate a clean online environment.The two appswerelaterremoved fromAndroid app stores and updates are no longeravailable.

The two platforms havemade public apologies,promising to examine their services and increase manpower in content review.This will include removing harmful content,blacklistingpublishers of inappropriate content,and prohibiting users under the age of 18 fromregisteringas livestreaminghosts.

Su said it was necessary for video-sharing platforms to strengthen uploaded video content monitoringbased on the law and regulationsbefore recommending them to users.Douyin has also promised to increase manpower in content review and to post more appropriate content.

Step 2 实践·文本解读

阅读扫障

Ⅰ.熟词生义

Ⅱ.话题热词

1.range from...to...从……到……

2.account for（数量上、比例上）占

3.cause concerns about引起对……的关注或担忧

4.create a clean online environment创造一个文明的网络环境

5.be removed from 从……中移除

6.make public apologies公开道歉

7.be based on law and regulations基于法律法规

Ⅲ.句型操练

1.“We are devoted to recording the daily lives of ordinary people,and giving them a stage to express themselves,”said Su Hua,founder and chief executive of Kuaishou,adding that the app is looking to improve its user experience and attract more new users.“快手”的创始人兼首席执行官宿华说：“我们致力于记录普通人的日常生活，给他们一个表达自己的舞台。”他补充说，该应用正在考虑改善用户体验，并吸引更多新用户。

点拨：本句较长，首先要理清结构，said Su Hua之前的部分为主句。founder...是Su Hua的同位语，adding是现在分词作状语。be devoted to意为“致力于”，后面加名词或V-ing形式。

例句练：这个团体致力于消除性别歧视。

2.Total time spent on short-video apps accounted for 5.5 per cent of all time spent on mobile apps in 2017—up from 1.3 per cent in 2016.用于短视频应用的总时间占用于手机应用总时间的5.5%，高于2016年的1.3%。

点拨：本句中两个spent都是过去分词作后置定语，分别修饰Total time和all time。account for为常用词组，表示“（数量上、比例上）占”。

例句练：中国人口约占全球五分之一。

温馨贴士

《普通高中英语课程标准》（2017年版）在“学业水平考试与高考命题建议”中指出，“考试内容的覆盖范围要全面，题型要丰富多样，比如，可以采用信息记录与填空、判断、匹配、简答、续写、写概要、写议论文、写应用文等题型（P93）。”其中概要写作被单独列入写作部分的考试题型中，如“④概要写作：考生阅读一篇材料，然后根据材料内容写一份概要（P108）。”综合分析信息并归纳概括用于解决新的问题也是发展学生思维品质的有效途径，这也是英语学科核心素养的要素之一。

Ⅱ.综合实践·情境应用

On May 11,2018,a parent called Mr Nan,coming from Xi'an,called the “KuaiBao City”hotline,denouncing（公开指责）the“Douyin”app.

“Metropolitan KuaiBao”reporters in Xijing Hospital emergency center saw the 6-year-old boy.His chin was sewn 10 stitches（缝线）,wrapped in gauze（纱布）.

【写作思路】

1.挖掘新闻背后的原因，可以分层拓展：①“抖音”流行，随之带来的负面影响问题；②个人自我风险意识和儿童模仿者其父母的监管责任。

2.解决方法可以按照从宏观到微观的逻辑分层，进行思维拓展及归纳：①政府的监管和相关法规的制定；②短视频平台应该承担内容审查责任；③家庭与学校教育的引导功能。Ⅲ.读写归纳·任务反思

“快手”“抖音”“西瓜”在内的短视频应用在青少年中的快速流行，带来了许多无法忽视的问题。在分析真实的案例时，我们需要多学习从文本中提取“现象—原因—问题—解决方法”的议论文结构，借助概要写作方法完成话题归纳，并基于此拓展思维和提高语言表达能力。
