2019-2020年高一下学期第二次月考英语试题含答案

第一部分阅读理解（共两节；满分40分）

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means thelittlethings we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries 

people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?

” “Terrible weather, 

isn’t it?

” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something 

which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather,so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree 

aboutreligion（宗教） or politics（政治）so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The 

topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football 

matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isn’t 

it?

” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?

”

A. a kind of conversation with short words
