celebrate the irish holiday of saint patricks day. it is a major holiday in ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the irish themselves.most americans think of saint patricks day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol.but its beginnings in ireland were religious, says mike cronin, a professor of irish history.saint patrick lived in ireland more than 2,000 years ago. he is widely considered to have established christianity (基督教) in the country. the church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. march 17 marks the date of his death. st. patrick, a briton reportedly, is believed to have served in ireland. one traditional story says that st. patrick drove all the snakes out of ireland. the average irish person honored march 17 quietly. attending church services was the main activity. in fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.in the early 1900s, irelands government made st. patricks day an official holiday. by the1960s, towns across ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. in ireland today, st. patricks day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games. for irish people living outside ireland, saint patricks day became a chance to celebrate their irish identity and culture.now, countries and cities around the world celebrate march 17 in creative ways. many countries hold saint patricks day parades. famous monuments will all be colored by green light for the day. the u.s. is especially famous for its saint patricks day celebrations. many cities with large ethnic irish communities hold parades and parties. cities will also color local rivers green for the day. ireland is known as the emerald isle, which is covered in deep green grass.cronin says that the worldwide popularity of saint patricks day has helped the irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. and for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people, its quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.28. what does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?a. some backgrounds of saint patrick.b. christianitys experience of serving in ireland.c. saint patricks contributions to establishing christianity.d. how people celebrated saint patricks day in the 17th century.29. how average irish person celebrated saint patricks day in the 17th century?a. coloring well-known monuments green.b. parading in the streets.c. attending church services quietly.d. drinking alcohol.30. what can we learn from the last two paragraphs?a. saint patricks day is the most significant day in the u.s.b. saint patricks day plays a part in foreign affairs in ireland today.c. saint patricks day is celebrated worldwide today the same way as in the 17th century.d. on saint patricks day, parades and parties are held throughout many american cities andtowns.31. which of the following can be the best title for the passage?a. the origin of saint patricks dayb. celebrations of saint patricks day in the u. s.c. role of saint patricks day in irish diplomacyd. everyone gets to be irish on saint patricks daydartificial intelligence (ai), has slowly begun to influence higher education around the world. now, one new ai tool could change the way university students evaluate their professors. the tool is called hubert. it is a teacher evaluation tool that appears as an ai-powered chatbot (聊天 机器人). instead of filling out a form, students use a chat window to give feedback on the course and their professor. afterwards, hubert categorizes the students comments for the professor to review. the beta version of hubert is free for educators to use.the goal of the new hubert program is to improve education by giving teachers detailed, organized feedback from students. viktor nordmark started the company in 2015 with several friends. before creating hubert, the founders asked teachers what would improve their teaching skills. the answer was qualitative feedback from their students. qualitative feedback is different from the survey responses students are often asked to provide at the end of a class. “this kind of data takes a lot of time for professors to collect and analyze and for the students, it can also be really boring to fill out.” nordmark said. so he and his friends designed hubert as a compromise between a traditional survey and a personal interview.hubert learned different types of comments and how to respond to them. then hubert learned how to organize the comments it received into categories. now, when hubert receives comments from students, it compares them with the information already in its system to organize the data.what makes hubert special is its similarity to communicating with a human. munro, an associate professor, believed traditional methods of evaluating professors were not very helpful. “they happened only at the end of the course and the questions were formed around a four-part ranking system based on traditional lecture classes.” these kinds of surveys did not give him the right information to make effective changes in his classroom, munro said,in contrast, professors can offer the hubert evaluation anytime they want. “everyone, both students and professors, is already comfortable with chats,” munro said.32. what does the underlined part “this kind of data” in paragraph 2 refer to?a. teaching skillsb. survey responsesc. qualitative feedbacksd. detailed and organized feedbacks33. what do we know about hubert from the text?a. it is very costly to use.b. its developers were all famous university professors.c. it can handle the data it receives automatically.d. it can be used to evaluate the students as well as the professors.34. why did viktor nordmark and his friends invent the hubert program?a. to make a profit by selling the program.b. to make the students more relaxed and comfortable in class.c. to make the professors classes more appealing and interesting.d. to improve higher education by giving professors accurate feedback from students.35. what is the munros attitude towards hubert program?a. neutralb. criticalc. appreciatived. ambitious第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。tips for finding your perfect job onlineknow where to look. you cant find the jobs if you dont
