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。根据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“华丽转身”,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.
C.In the 1980s. D.At the end of 2017.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“In the 1980s, the word still had a negative meaning...”和第二句“However, from the late 20th century... the word has come to mean a clever, switchedon and cool person”对比可知,“geek”这个词实现意义上的华丽转身是在20世纪90年代。故选B项。
