Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2021·东北三省四市第一次联考)
In the past, they were laughed at for being eggheads(书白痴) wearing glasses with a passion for
the pointless. But now, being a member of their group has become a source of pride, with Collins
online dictionary naming the term “geek” as UK's “Word of the Year” on December 16.
“Geek” tops the list for 2021 because of its “positive makeover”， a spokeswoman for Collins
Dictionary told The Scotsman newspaper.
The word originally appeared in the 19th century as a variant(变形) of “geck”， meaning “a
simpleton(傻瓜)”．
“In the 1980s, the word still had a negative meaning, referring to someone who was boring and
socially awkward. However, from the late 20th century, due to the increasing importance of
technology in society, the word has come to mean a clever, switched-on and cool person，” noted
The Scotsman.
In September, the dictionary changed the main definition of “geek” from “someone preoccupied
with computing” to “a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about a specific
subject”．
“‘Geek’ is a great example of a word that has evolved from having a negative meaning to having a
positive one，” Ian Brookes, consultant editor to Collins Dictionary told The Guardian. “This
change in meaning represents a positive change in views of specialist expertise(专长，专业知识),
and is a result of the influence of technology on people's lives.”
The Telegraph's John Bingham believes that the transformation of the word was helped along by
the success of the US movie The Social Network, about the creation of the US website Facebook.
“Commentators said the film showed that it had become fashionable to be a geek”， Bingham
wrote.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。戴着瓶底眼镜的书白痴们曾经被嘲笑为无用的“geek”，然而时代在变化，咸鱼也有翻身的一天！柯林斯字典给了这个词一个全新的、积极的含义。
1．The underlined word “makeover” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A．evolution B．result
C．influence D．response
答案：A 词义猜测题。按照文章第一段的第二句“But now, being a member of their group has
become a source of pride, with Collins online dictionary naming the term ‘geek’ as UK's ‘Word of
the Year’ on December 16.”和第三段“The word originally appeared in the 19th century as a
variant(变形) of ‘geck’， meaning ‘a simpleton(傻瓜)’．”前后对比可知，此处makeover意为“富丽转身”，与倒数第二段的第一句“‘Geek’ is a great example of a word that has evolved from
having a negative meaning to having a positive one”相呼应。evolution意为“进化”；result意为“结果”；influence意为“影响”；response意为“回应”。故选A项。
2．When did the word “geek” begin to have a positive meaning?
A．In the 20th century. B．From the 1990s.
