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。
