My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed(离开) my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room; my heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends' names on that list but could not find mine. John, Bryce, Ro, I thought, everybody is on here except me. At that moment. I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team but I was not. I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. "Hey coach, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?" I asked anxiously. "Yes. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year," the coach replied without the slightest bit of regret. I could feel the hot, bitter tears building in my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I slowly walked away, every one of them jumping around with excitement after seeing that they made the team. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. I trudged (步履艰难) through the rest of school; walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day; everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other. After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the back of the lot, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being one of the only people in our friend group to not make the team. 注意： 1）续写词数应为150左右。 2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I saw my father's red car pull up near the school lot. …… After almost a year of training, I tried out for my seventh-grade team. |

阅读理解Trees naturally absorbed CO2 through photosynthesis (光合作用), releasing oxygen, storing carbon for decades, or even centuries. Biotechnology firm Living Carbon says lab trials of its genetically-changed poplar trees take up more carbon and grow 1.5 times faster than unchanged ones. The team added genes from pumpkin to the poplars, which makes their photosynthesis more efficient, turning more carbon dioxide into sugars to create wood biomass (生物量). Though the firm's lab results are promising, biologists warn that high growth rates are not guaranteed in the wild as the poplars compete for sunlight with other plants and trees. Genetically-modified (GM) supertrees may also need much watering and fertilizer to keep their rapid growth. The results are important given the rate of climate change and climbing CO2 levels in the atmosphere. But critics say there are risks to planting GM trees in the wild if they reproduce with other trees, or negatively affect other plant and animal species. Living Carbon says trees are a hybrid that can only reproduce from cuttings, so cannot cross-pollinate (授粉) with wild trees. If the field trials are successful then it will still take time to get approval from the government. One sixth, around 135, tree species in the US may face extinction due to climate change, foreign insect species, or disease. And even though field trials of a GM chestnut tree have shown its ability to resist some foreign disease that wiped out billions ofAmerican chestnuts, it still has not been approved for planting. If CO2 storage is the aim then there are species that already fit the bill. California's Redwood trees store more carbon than any other species. Redwoods are not suitable for every forestry plot, so creating climate adaptable trees through reproducing programs that fit into local ecosystems is the goal. But in the rush to fix the climate crisis, increase CO2 uptake, and carbon storage, GM supertrees may be part of that solution.
