Universal Studios Hollywood, a park for fun, entertainment, and even learning, is taking its first steps in a 25-year plan to expand itself. The plan is to expand the amusement facilities (设施) and develop a residential (住宅的) neighborhood in the area. "I’m really excited about what’s happening here," one visitor said.

Originally known as Universal City, Universal Studios Hollywood was founded in 1915 by Carl Laemmle. It was the first studio offering tours during which people could watch films in production. Since then, Universal Studios Hollywood has grown to include theme parks, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and etc. This park proved to be so popular that Universal Studios Florida opened in 1990.

With such past success and growth, it’s no wonder that Universal Studios Hollywood is excited about its latest plans for expansion. The original plans had to be changed because of environmental regulations (规章), but now they are ready to move ahead at full speed.

While many new attractions are in the works for the new expansion, Universal Studios Hollywood will keep some of its old attractions, such as the Bates Mansion from the film Psychoand the Shark from Jaws. These attractions offer a look at the historical development of the film industry, and show the advances in film-production techniques over the years. But while preserving the past, plenty of new high-tech sound stages, rides, and theaters are in the works. In May, Citywalk, a shopping, dining, and entertainment facility, began undergoing renovations (整修), and spring also saw the opening of Sky Venture Hollywood, an attraction where visitors can float 40 feet into the air on 125 mph winds.

1.As a result of the popularity of Universal Studios Hollywood, ______.

A.other parks were opened

B.homeowners lost their houses

C.Carl Laemmle decided to produce films

D.more environmental regulations have been made

2.The visitor in the first paragraph holds a(n) _________ attitude towards the expansion.

A.supportive

B.doubtful

C.objective

D.Negative

3.Why will Universal Studios Hollywood preserve some old attractions?

A.They’re too costly to replace.

B.They show the history of the film industry.

C.They’re more popular than others.

D.They are more beautiful than the new ones.

In a new article, Zehr, a professor at the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, describes his success in using the Caped Crusader (披篷骑士) to engage students in the study of physiology.

"Batman (蝙蝠侠) has such powerful influence on readers because he is a fictional human with superpowers that seem within reach if we only work at it," writes Zehr, in a new article published in Advances in Physiology Education, a journal of the American Physiological Society. Zehr believes that it is not Batman's vast wealth that allows him to protect the citizens of Gotham City (哥谭市) , but his dedication to developing a wide range of physical skills.

Zehr uses Batman to establish a framework, grounded in his fictional universe as well as our real one, in order to discuss the various components of exercise and physical training and illustrate how the body's physiological systems respond. His experiences in teaching undergraduate courses in physiology and neurophysiology made him realize that connecting science to popular culture helped students understand the lessons better.

He first presented a formal analysis of the personal and physical discipline that would be required to transform an ordinary person into a superhero in his book, Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero. The book drew on Zehr's understanding and work in human movement and the plasticity of nerves and muscles associated with exercise. By coincidence, the book was published in the wake of The Dark Knight, the blockbuster movie which recounts Batman and his arch-enemy, the Joker.

With the casting almost complete for the sequel(续集), The Dark Knight Rises, Dr. Zehr writes about his experiences connecting science to popular culture, which is captured in the Advances, article, "A Personal View: From Claude Bernard to the Batcave and Beyond: Using Batman as a hook for physiology education." 

1.In Zehr's opinion, what makes Batman be able to defend his citizens?

A.his large amount of fortune

B.his devotion to developing varieties of physical skills

C.his habit of wearing a cape

D.his developing so wide range of magic power

2. Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the third paragraph?

A.Students of physiology and neurophysiology should have more physical training

B.To become a batman needs developing a wide range of physical skills

C.Only Batman can illustrate the respond of the body’s physiological system

D.combining science with popular culture can be beneficial to students’ study

3.To help students study physiology well, Dr.Zehr uses Batman to do the following EXCEPT___

A.set up his theoretical principles of teaching physiology

B.discuss the different components of physical training

C.illustrate the ways of body’s physiology system responding

D.perform many physiology experiments on the body movement

4..According to the book Becoming Batman, what does the possibility of becoming a superhero mainly lie on?

A.Dr. Zehr’s formal analyses of the body's movement rules

B.the flexibility of nerves and muscles when being trained well

C.the physical training conducted by Dr. Zehr

D.the final influence of Batman on one person

5.This passage is mainly about          .

A.Batman’seducation significance in physiology
