问题     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】________.  
【C7】
选项 A、carried
B、run
C、left
D、laid
答案D
解析 此处需要一个词组表达总统在去年6月份所做之事。下句紧接着提及过了12个月后，他的计划的实施情况，Twelve months later呼应了上文的one year after unveiling an aggressive plan“在公布了一项大胆计划的一年后”。由此可知，此处动词应与unveil表达之意相近，layout“提出；展示”符合要求，故选D。下句提及计划中最具雄心的部分还没实现，说明计划不可能在一年前就已经“执行；完成”或已被“省去”，据此排除A项carried和C项left；而run out表示“用光”，在文中未提及，故排除B。
