1. B. 原文提到Love or hate poetry, this project “has proved to be an excellent way of introducing the public to poetry以及Conceived (构思) by Chernaik, these poems aim to bring poetry to passengers可知该项计划的目的是向公众传播诗歌文学作品。
2. D. 根据Love or hate poetry, this project “has proved to be an excellent way of introducing the public to poetry, with passengers often wanting to read more,” according to the government organization Transport for London.可知在地铁张贴的诗歌收到了很多乘客的青睐。

1.C. 文中倒数第二段提到Birds developed wings that included a layer of long feathers covered with short feathers on top.根据Looking closely at the fossils, scientists found that ancient feathers contain many layers of long feathers, like a penguin’s. This made the wings rather heavy and difficult for birds to move them up and down.可知A是错误的。根据They have also grown special wrist bones (腕骨) so that they can spread their wings when flying and fold them into their sides when walking.可知B是错误的。此外根据Meanwhile, it also had some features that belonged to a reptile (爬行动物), such as teeth in its mouth, claws (爪子) on its wings, and a long, bony (有骨的) tail, which means the ancestors of birds were probably reptiles.可知D是错误的。
2. B. 根据This is why scientists concluded that early feathers were only used by birds to glide (滑翔) from high trees, or keep warm, or maybe as camouflage (伪装), but not flying, according to National Geographic. 可知选B.
3. A. 根据文章第二段的内容可知科学家们主要是通过早期鸟类化石来研究鸟类的起源及其如何进化从而拥有飞行能力的。
4. B. 纵观全文，主要介绍了鸟类羽毛的进化及该过程对于鸟类飞行获得飞行能力的影响。
D4
1. B。从第一段的“my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment…”可以得此答案。Reputation，名声；wealth，财富。
2. B。从第一段的“… I begged my parents to let me go”以及“My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging”可见，作者的父母并不是十分支持她要当模特的梦想。
3. B。从第四段的“The final straw came in July…”可知，正是这次去纽约试镜遭受的打击让作者彻底放弃了当模特的想法。
4. D。最后一段里，作者说她那时并不是真的喜欢当模特，只是喜欢那种当模特的感觉。当时她想要自己成为一个特别的人，下定决心要完成一个不可能的目标。所以这次经历以后，她变得更加坚强。
