【解析】
2-1：逐一分析选项：A选项，原文仅提到塞纳河为巴黎增美、永定河见证城市变化，未提及两河改变历史，排除；B选项，塞纳河流经法国首都巴黎，永定河流经中国首都北京，故B错误；C选项，两河分别是巴黎和北京的重要河流，且沿岸均有大量景点，符合文意；D选项，原文明确两河沿岸有“many”景点，而非“only a few”，排除。因此选C。
2-2：根据海报原文对应表格内容：（1）两河的长度数据对应栏目标题“Length”；（2）永定河的位置原文为“flows through the western part of Beijing”；（3）塞纳河沿岸的景点原文为“places of interest”；（4）永定河沿岸的景点原文为“many tourist attractions”；（5）永定河的影响原文为“important source of water”。
