Yet over the same 10 years, society has【C2】______ its resources to address these challenges. The original response was slow. But it is gathering speed, with technological breakthroughs and a growing awareness that a clean environment is essential for development.
Of course, we should greatly intensify efforts to tackle poverty and environmental【C3】______ .
They endanger our health, security and the innumerable benefits that come to us from nature.
But we should also remember our real accomplishments. We have slashed emissions of chemicals that【C4】______ the ozone layer and threaten human health. Industrialized nations largely eliminated chlorofluoro-carbons and halons, the major ozone-threatening gases. And many developing countries are ahead of the timetable that gives them until 2010 to phase out those gases.
We are relying less on dirty fuels. Five million energy-efficient lights have been installed in poor countries and those with【C5】______ economies.

We can build on the strengths we have developed over the past 10 years and move ahead with confidence that【C10】______ development goals are indeed achievable.
A) transitional I) marshaled

C) cognitive K) arose
D) mounted L) deplete

选项
