中考专项热点时文阅读理解与阅读表达专项训练二（基础层、培优层） Passage 1基础层 The popular group Kidz Bop recently kicked off their Kidz Bop Live 2024 Tour, which will run until the beginning of September and features more than 40 dates across the US. It stops in four current cities across the US — Akron, Clift, Matty, and Shiloh — performing songs that include covers of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” and Chappell Roizt’s “Hot n Cold!” Aleah, age 17, is the second junior with the group. She told The Week Junior that this summer’s show will be brand-new, though it will include the fan-favorite “Daddy Dance Off.” One of the songs she is excited to perform is “Certified Bop,” an original song from the new album. “It’s so catchy,” she said. She is also looking forward to singing Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things.” During the show, countdowners can expect to see her group, which isn’t typical for Kidz Bop performers: “I feel like we’re more of a band this year,” Aleah said. “We’re going to be showing our different talents, other than just dancing and singing.” Kidz Bop has been around since 2001 and is known for singing family-friendly versions of popular songs. The Kidz Bop members are chosen periodically, and new ones change out of thousands who audition as part of nationwide casting calls. More than 24 million Kidz Bop albums have been sold, and the group has more than 5 billion YouTube views. Kidz Bop 2024, the most recent album, was released this spring. 阅读理解题 1.What is the main purpose of mentioning Aleah in the article? A. To introduce a new Kidz Bop album B.

You won’t have to look far for subjects to shoot. “Just stepping outside into nature — to see bees, birds or insects or stars — will give you inspiration,” professional nature photographer Angela Leyland told The Week Junior. Here’s how to get started. Pick a setting First, choose where you want to take nature photos. “You can start with a yard or a local park,” says Leyland. You could shoot local wildlife like squirrels, take interesting details, or zoom in on close-ups of flowers or raindrops on a leaf. As you get more experience, you can work up to larger settings, like a nature preserve or a state park. Experiment with natural light Try photos at different times of day and in various kinds of weather. Clouds can create a dramatic sky, while rain can give a glossy sheen to rocks and plants. Two of the best times to shoot are during the “golden hours” each day — just after the sun rises and right before it sets. This is when the sun casts a gentle, natural glow that’s ideal for photos. Any time you shoot outside, consider the sun’s position over your subject. For example, if you want to get a shot of an animal in front of a landscape, you should have the sun to your back so the light is shining on your subject. Frame your shots When taking pictures, Leyland advises thinking about composition — what you see inside the frame of your shot. When about to take a photograph, look through the viewfinder (or phone screen) and turn the camera slightly right, left, or up. Observe how this changes the shot. Experiment with different angles: point up to the sky, toward the ground, or adjust your camera to capture unique vantage points. Keep practicing The best way to become a stronger nature photographer is to keep experimenting. If you want technical skills, consider a photography class (check school or local art centers).
