解析：
1．本小题的语言表达功能是“问路”。本对话的结构是典型的问路对话结构： (1)提出话题：询问某地怎么去。 (2)被问人指路。 (3)问路人重复或询问细节。 (4)问路人表示感谢。 2．既然本小题的语言表达功能是“问路”，那么，整个谈话就都是涉及空间关系问题。对本题判断的重要信息是： ...Go straight on until you come to a cinema．Let’s see now—that’s the second turning on your right．The cinema’s on the corner． 3．本题的信息也存在于指路人的谈话之中。对本题判断的重要信息是： I think it’s Bridge Street．Go along Bridge Street for a few minutes and then take the second—no，not the second， the first，that’s right，the first turning on your left．

提示：
W: Excuse me. How can I get to the station please? M: The station, the station, let me see. Ah, yes. You can go down... no. Go straight on until you come to a cinema．Let’s see now—that’s the second turning on your right. The cinema’s on the corner. Turn right at the cinema and you’ll be in Bridge Street. I think it’s Bridge Street. Go along Bridge Street for a few minutes and then take the second—no, not the second, the first, that’s right, the first turning on your left. The station is straight ahead, right in front of you. W: So that’s second right and first left. Thank you very much. That’s very kind of you. M: Don’t mention it.

gone D. deadIt’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: “The global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity.”
You may not believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible (看不见的) blanket.
Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
