【解析】文章大意：說英語不僅僅要語法正確, 也要理解文化背景。當在美國說英語的時候，這里給出了一些重要的建議。一是要記住的要點。二是談話的技巧。三是對人的稱呼。四是公共場所的舉止行為。
（1）考查細節(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. 可知在語法之外要知道語言所使用的環(huán)境，故選A。
（2）考查細節(jié)理解題。題干中的關鍵詞where, from, place 都和位置location有關。因此可以作為conversation tips 中speak about location的一個例子。故選D。
（3）考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)addressing people 中的信息可知，當稱呼女子時，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的是不同的語言文化。故選B。
