B 解析：“environmentally sustainable”是原文中的关键形容词短语，意为“环境上可持续的”，是文章倡导的发展方式。 11. B 解析：“environmentally friendly”是原文中的关键形容词短语，意为“环境友好的”，是文章倡导的生活方式。 12. C 解析：“safer”是原文中“a safer life”的比较级，点明了所有防灾减灾措施的最终目的。 13. C 解析：原文列举的人类可能引起的灾害有“floods, droughts, wildfires etc”，未包含“earthquakes”（地震）。 14. B 解析：原文逻辑链为：“温室效应导致冰山融化，进而导致（resulting in）海平面上升”。 15. B 解析：文章前半部分讲人类活动可能导致灾害，后半部分讲通过可持续发展和环保生活来预防灾害，因此核心信息是B选项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
