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】________.  
【C2】
选项 A、incentives
B、restrictions
C、sacrifices
D、challenges
答案A
解析 此处需要一个名词表示政府对绿色技术的态度。下文提及此三项措施为采取进一步行动扫清了道路(clear Me way for further action)。绿色技术不会对环境造成危害，因此，如果要推动进一步的(减缓气候变化)计划．绿色技术应该受到政府的推崇。因此，答案为A项incentives“鼓励；刺激”。B项restrictions“限制”和D项challenges“质疑”均与句中意思相反；而C项sacrifices“牺牲”在文中未被提及。
