36. A. public B. nice C. small D. long (A)
圣帕特里克节是爱尔兰的国庆节，这是一个举国欢庆的节日。public译为“公共的”，很容易理解，nice 漂亮的，好的；small 小的；long长的，这三个都不符合
37. A. or B. so C. and D. but ( D)
The first St Patrick’s Day celebration took place not in Ireland, 37 in the United States.
第一次庆祝圣帕特里克节不是在爱尔兰，而是在美国
not....but.... 译为“不是....而是”这其实是一固定搭配，但是不要看到有not就选but啊，还是要结合语义的，当你没有选择的时候，你翻译看看就很容易得出答案了
38. A. is B. are C. was D. were (C )
in 1737这已经提示说是过去的时间了，理应选择过去式，而这里的主语是单数，当然是was了
39. A. fashion B. time C. placeD. business (B )
St Patrick’s Day is a time to....time译为“时间，时期”，可以简单理解成是It's a time to do sth
40 . A. write down B. put away C. think of D. take part in ( C )
A写下 B放置一边 C想起，忆起 D参加
翻译就知道人们在谈论这个节日时就会想起绿色，而不是写下，放置，参加
41. A. food B. spring C. sports D. weather ( B )
绿色与春天联系很大，其余三个都不符合绿色的意思
42. A. house B. food C. work D. luck (D )
人们当然是希望能获得好运了，而不是实际的东西，再说了，好运也包括了其余三个了
43. A. either B. never C. sometime D. even ( D )
D甚至 这里是说明因为人们认为绿色能给自己带来好运，所以强调说人们甚至把自己的头发染成绿色，想想现实中是很少有人把头发染成绿色的，这里染成绿色不就是因为是国庆节，是欢乐的日子，是祈求幸运的日子吗
44. A. pity B. culture C. tradition D. mark ( C )
早晨去教堂，下午去庆祝节日这是他们的传统，就犹如咱们过年的时候有穿新衣的传统一样，每个节日都有那个节日的传统 A遗憾 B文化 D标志 都不符合节日惯例
45. A. feel B. celebrate C. notice D. choose ( B )
最后一句是总结句，从头说这个节日的来源，以及这个节日在爱尔兰人中的重要性，到最后说这个节日在世界其他国家也庆祝着，说明了这个节日不是一般的存在，人们都很重视这个节日
