    "When you take those first steps, even if they’re【C4】________, and even if there are politics some-times, you start【C5】________momentum and you start mobilizing larger and larger communities," Obama said.
    Obama’s【C6】________served as a progress report for his climate plan, which the president【C7】________out last June. Twelve months later, much of the plan is in【C8】________although the most ambitious steps are still up in the air and will take years to be【C9】________realized.
    Change won’t be instantaneous, Obama【C10】________. "There’s no silver bullet."
    Indeed, many of the steps he’s taking are【C11】________limited in scope by hostility from both parties to putting a【C12】________on carbon pollution, which would require new laws from Congress. Still, Obama said he’s seeking to【C13】________the problem but cutting it up into smaller pieces.
    "We’re moving, and it’s making a【C14】________," he told a supportive crowd at the League of Conservation Voter’s annual dinner. The environmental group【C15】________Obama early in his 2008 campaign.【C16】________on the international front, momentum has been obscure.【C17】________global climate talks next year in Paris, there are fresh【C18】________that some countries are urging others to resist【C19】________moves to curb carbon. That could dis-courage even bigger polluters from【C20】________.  
【C18】
选项 A、signs
B、predictions
C、advices
D、requirements
答案A
解析 此处需要一个名词对that后面提及的事实进行归纳。上文提及本段主题：在国际方面，(环保的)势头已很难见着了。下文提及一些国家呼吁其他国家抵制遏制碳的______行动。这种共同抵制的行为暗示着“环保势头减弱”的发生或出现。故应选表“预示某事即将出现的迹象”含义的A项signs。从句中描述的只是一种事实，而不是任何人的“预测”、“建议”或“要求”，故B、C、D三项均排除。
