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】________.
【C8】
选项
A、detail
B、motion
C、vain
D、question
答案
B
解析
根据句中表达让步和转折的although可推断,句中表示奥巴马计划完成情况的两个短语be in_________与be in the air具有相反的语义。be in the air表示“未定的,悬而未决的”,be in motion“在运行中”符合要求,故选B。in detail“详细地”,in vain“徒劳地”和in question“正在讨论中的”不能与in the air构成对比,均被排除。
