General Points to Remember Most Americans only speak English: While it is true that more and more Americans speak Spanish, most Americans only speak English. Americans have difficulties under-standing foreign accents (口音): Many Americans are not used to foreign accents.	Conversation Tips Speak about location (位置). Talk about work: Americans commonly ask "What do you do?" It's not thought impolite (as in some countries) and is a popular topic to discuss between strangers. Talk about sports.
Addressing (稱(chēng)呼) People Use last names with people you do not know. Always use "Ms" when addressing women. Many Americans prefer first names. Americans prefer informal: In general, Americans prefer informal greetings and using first names or nicknames when speaking with workmates and friends.	Public Behavior Always shake hands.

【解析】文章大意：說(shuō)英語(yǔ)不僅僅要語(yǔ)法正確, 也要理解文化背景。當(dāng)在美國(guó)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，這里給出了一些重要的建議。一是要記住的要點(diǎn)。二是談話(huà)的技巧。三是對(duì)人的稱(chēng)呼。四是公共場(chǎng)所的舉止行為。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一部分中的 To use English correctly, you need to understand the culture in which it is spoken. 可知在語(yǔ)法之外要知道語(yǔ)言所使用的環(huán)境，故選A。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干中的關(guān)鍵詞where, from, place 都和位置location有關(guān)。因此可以作為conversation tips 中speak about location的一個(gè)例子。故選D。
（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)addressing people 中的信息可知，當(dāng)稱(chēng)呼女子時(shí)，總是用Ms. 故選D。
（4）考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)public behavior 中的信息 Look your partner in the eyes.可以得出答案為C。其他三項(xiàng)均與文章矛盾。選C。
（5）考查主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章大意可知主要說(shuō)的是不同的語(yǔ)言文化。故選B。
