    "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.

【C20】
选项 A、complaining
B、acting
C、sharing
D、assessing
答案B
解析 上句提及“有些国家力劝其他国家抵制遏制碳的______行动”。这种对于环境保护的消极行为只会使得更大的污染者们形成一些消极情绪，进而采取消极行动。因此。此处应表消极语义，discourage…from acting意为“阻止……行动起来”，故选B。
