2. which 考查非限制性定语从句。此处the Simatai Great Wall是先行词，指物，在后面的
非限制性定语从句中作主语，应使用which引导。故填which。
3. in 考查介词。in the presence of“在……面前”为固定词组。故填in。

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens makes up a folk art centre, gallery space, and a nonprofit
organisation showcasing the works of mosaicist (镶嵌设计师) Isaiah Zagar.
Zagar devoted himself to beautifying the South Street neighbourhood in the late 1960s, when
he moved to the area with his wife Julia. The couple helped the area by purchasing and repairingsome old buildings, often adding colourful mosaics on both their private and public walls. The first
such project was Julia's stillbusy folk art store, the Eyes Gallery at 402 South Street.
Zagar started working on the Magic Gardens in 1994 in the deserted parking lot near his
studio. He spent the next fourteen years sculpting multilayered walls and decorating the 3,000 square
foot space. The installation (装置艺术), primarily consisting of found objects and contributions from
the community, finally covers half a city block with countless patterns and colours. It shows Zagar's
many artistic influences, as well as the events and experiences of his life.
In 2002, the owner of the onceunused parking lot decided to sell the land in response to rising
South Street property values. Unwilling to witness the destruction of Zagar's neighbourhood art
environment, the community rushed to support the artist. His creation, newly titled Philadelphia's
Magic Gardens, turned into a nonprofit organisation with the intention of preserving and promoting
Zagar's works at the site of the Magic Gardens and throughout the South Street region.
The Magic Gardens is now a permanent art institution that is open to visitors throughout the
year. Trained guides are available to lead tours of the Magic Gardens and Zagar's surrounding public
wall paintings. In addition, it offers monthly mosaic workshops led by Zagar himself, and regularly
hosts concerts, dance performances, and other public events.
4. How did Zagar help the South Street neighbourhood?
A. He moved to the area with his family.
B. He worked to improve its surroundings.
C. He opened a folk art store with his wife.
D. He managed to buy all the old buildings.
5. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?
A. Great achievements of Zagar.
B. Special skills of installing art.
C. Location of the Magic Gardens
D. Early history of the Magic Gardens.
6. What do the local residents think of Zagar's works?
A. They harm the environment.
B. They can bring in profits.
C. They should be removed.
D. They are precious treasures.
7. What can tourists do in Philadelphia's Magic Gardens?
