阅读理解试题的做题方法我们称之为还原定位法，即把试题准确地在原文中进行定位，找到答案所在的句子。这种方法的运用有三个步骤：

　　先看试题，后读原文：这样做既节省了时间，又提高了做题的效率和准确度。

　　对试题在原文中的位置进行模糊定位：因为试题的出题顺序和文章的叙述顺序存在高度的一致性。

　　对试题在原文中的位置进行准确定位。

　　对试题在原文中的位置进行准确定位的前提是抓住试题中的标志词和关键词。标志词主要包括①专有名词，是指表示人名、地名和组织机构等的名词，这样的名词在文章中一般都要大写；②表示时间或年代的词；③专业词汇，这样的词汇一般都是比较难懂，一般是我们不认识的词汇。关键词是指表达试题内容的中心词，一般是试题中的名词和名词词组。

　　下面我们以2005年理工类B级中一篇阅读理解为例，详细解说一下这种方法在实战考试中的运用。

　　Almost Human？
　　Scientists are racing¹ to build the world's first thinking robot. This is not science fiction： somesay they will have made it by the year 2020. Carol Packer reports.
　　Machines that walk， speak and feel are no longer science fiction.Kismet is the name of an android（机器人）which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）。 （31）Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it Can show human emotions.Its eyes，ears and lips move to show when it feels happy， sad or bored.Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids——robots that look like human beings——which Can imitate human feelings. （32） Cog， another android invented by the MIT， imitates the action of a mother. However， scientists admit that So far Cog has the mental ability of a two—year—old.
　　（33）The optimists（乐观主义者）say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids（机器人）with brains similar to those of all adult human being. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind of jobs will they do？ （34）In the future， robots like Robonaut， a humanoid invented by NASA， will be doing dangerous jobs， like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and mom of the household work for us In Japan， scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.
　　Some people worry about what the future holds：will robots become monsters（怪物）？Will people themselves become increasingly² like robots？ Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro—computers，connected to the Internet，in the future.People will have micro—chips in various parts of their body，which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets³ （小装置）。Perhaps we should not exaggerate（夸大）the importance of technology，but one wonders whether，in years to come，we will still be falling in love，and whether we will still feel pain.Who knows？
