(2016·江苏十校联考)In the past，they were laughed at for being eggheads (书呆子) 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 2013 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 “geek”，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，switched­on 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.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。戴着瓶底眼镜的书呆子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！科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 C．influence

B．result D．response

【解析】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段的第二句和第三段前后对比可知，此处makeover意为“华丽转身”，与倒数第二段的第一句相呼应。

【答案】 A

2．When did the word “geek” begin to have a positive meaning? A．In the early 20th century. B．From the 1990s. C．In the 1980s. D．At the end of 2013.

【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句和第二句对比可知，“geek”这个词实现意义上的华丽转身是在20世纪90年代。

【答案】 B

3．According to the article，“geek” now mainly refers to ． A．someone who is addicted to computing and new technology B．someone who is boring and unfashionable

C．someone who is smart but awkward in social situations D．someone who is well­informed and devoted to a certain field

【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about a specific subject”可知，“geek”现在主要指那些博学的学者型人物。

【答案】 D

4．What helped to transform the meaning of “geek”from negative to positive according to the article?

a．The effect of technology. b．The news media's promotion. c．The influence of Collins Dictionary. d．The popularity of The Social Network. A．a，b C．a，d

B．b，c D．c，d

【解析】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的第一句可知，“geek”词义的华丽转身来源于电影The Social Network的成功和技术的进步。根据倒数第二段最后一句中的“is a result of the influence of technology on people's lives”可知，这是科技进步对人们生活影响的结果。

【答案】 C Ⅲ.任务型阅读

Parents often take their children along with them when going shopping.If you take your child with you to the supermarket，what do you do when she gets tired and wants to get back home? Parents often ignore their child's repeated requests and carry on with their shopping.If this is what you do，your child may throw a temper

tantrum(大怒) sooner or later.

Anticipate your child's behaviour and act accordingly.If your child is happy on her own and can amuse herself by looking at passers-by and the shelves，there's little you need to do.If your child has less patience，here are some tips：

TOYS

Carry one of your child's favourite toys with you when you go shopping.Give it to her as soon as she starts showing signs of being restless.She will be able to amuse herself with her toy for some more time.

TREAT

Get your child a little treat if you see that she is losing patience.Do this before she starts throwing a temper tantrum.You don't want to reinforce her tantrum by rewarding her，or you will see many more.

ATTENTION

When your child gets restless，don't ignore her.

Take a five­minute break from your shopping to talk to her and give her your attention.Let her know you need to pick up a few more items and will be done soon.Also，this would be a good time to ask her if she would like to eat an ice cream，and give her a little treat.

ENTERTAINMENT

Try and make the trip as entertaining for your child as possible.Do remember that while you have a list of chores to complete，your child is simply hanging around with you and is likely to get bored.If you are in a supermarket，put your little toddler in the cart and wheel her around.Also，keep asking for her opinion every now and again，especially when shopping for items for her.
