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 “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！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。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 2013.

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, switched-on 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。

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 well-informed and devoted to a certain field

答案：D 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。故选D项。 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 B．b，c C．a，d D．c，d

答案：C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句．..“by the success of the US movie The Social Network, about the creation of the US website Facebook.”可知，“geek”词义的华丽转身来源于电影The Social Network的成功。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。故选C项。 Ⅲ.七选五 (2014·豫南五市二模)

Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let's face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn't come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life, we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. __1__

__2__ Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.

When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many

people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. __3__ So work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.

When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life, we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. __4__

When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you. __5__ Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment. Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the go and distracted by ambitions.

Practice looking at life through the lens(镜头) of contentment and it will become more natural. A．Learn to create chances to achieve your goal.

B．What you should do is to put yourself in a good mood.
