　　小题1:A小题2:A小题3:B小题4:D 　　小题1:细节理解题。从第一段的：“Americansholdboththeforkandtheknifeintheirrighthandsthroughoutthemeal,”可知答案。小题2:推理判断题。根据第(2)点的：“inthiswaytheyarethumbingtheirnoseatMotherEngland.”的thumbetheirnoseat意思是“轻视,不在乎”可知答案。小题3:词义猜测题。根据前面的：“theyrespondby“playing”withthesilver..”和下文的：“toshowthattheyarenotafraidandthatoneofthemholdingaforkisworthanynumberofthemholdingblades（刀）”可知，juggle这是“耍弄”的意思。小题4:细节判断题。用排除法，从第一段的：“InEuropepeopleholdtheforkinthelefthandandtheknifeintheright”可知A选项是对的；从第(2)点的：“themasteroftheNewWorldarerebels（叛逆者）.TheyusethezigzagmethodtobreaktherulesintheOldWorld”和“Americansarearestlesskind.Theydonotliketositinonespotforverylongwhendining.”可知选项C是正确的。
