President Barack Obama claimed progress Wednesday in his second-term drive to combat climate change but said more must be done to address a generational problem.
One year after unveiling an aggressive plan, Obama said new【C1】________limits on power plants, renewable energy projects and new【C2】________for green technology have cleared the way for further action in the U.S. and abroad, despite steadfast【C3】________from much of Congress.
"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】________.
【C12】
选项
A、reward
B、price
C、stimulation
D、doubt
答案
B
解析
上文提及奥巴马的计划是通过很多手段(limits on power plant...renewable energy projects,green technology)来应对气候变化。这些手段都是对环境有好处的。carbon pollution对环境有害,因此,奥巴马采取的措施应是对这种破坏环境的行为进行惩罚。因此应选B项,put a price on carbon pollution意为“让排碳污染环境的人付出代价”。A项reward“回报”和C项stimulation“激励”均与句中语义要求相反;而D项doubt“疑问”表明的只是一种态度,与文中采取行动减少对环境的破坏的语义不符。
