答案：

(答案→)B

解析：

【主旨大意】1776年7月4日是美国诞生日，每年美国人都会隆重纪念自己的国庆日。文章详细表述了庆祝过程中，人们会穿上盛装，举办焰火表演，享受烧烤美食。当然，国庆日对每一个美国人来说也是一个严肃的日子，人们在为祖国自豪的同时也不会忘记缅怀创立者的丰功伟绩。

【小题1】B根据句意，人们每年都要庆祝独立日。Spent表示度过这个节日，decorated是装饰的意思，与原文意思不符，故选B。

【小题1】A 根据下文的表述，可以知道这是本段的首括句:人们会在庆祝日做些什么呢？

【小题1】C家庭组织烧烤野营，孩子们当然会享受美食了。故选C。

【小题1】B考查定语。With短语作后置定语，带有星星和星条的帽子。

【小题1】C许多孩子为了装酷，用带星星和星条的扇子。Hot 和warm不符合文意。

【小题1】B 本句承上启下，在欢庆的同时，人们没有忘记这也是一个严肃的日子。

【小题1】A 人们为祖国而感到骄傲，本文是围绕国庆日进行表述的，B、C不切题意。
