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 sometimes, 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 discourage 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”。
