Nowadays, we are exploring space. ‘Astronomers are the modern-day explorers. Currently, many () are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking? First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth orbits a star (the Sun). More importantly, it is the correct distance from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the (2) __, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, as- tronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. Unfortunately, many of these (3)______———__are either too near to the star or too far away. However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers (4) —_____ for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is im- portant because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can alsoPort! grow plants with water. And (5), produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. So all life on other plonets will need water and oir.

Dastlab berilgan matnni tezda o’gib chiqish kerak. Bu bizga ikki sababga ko'ra muhim hisoblanadi. Birinchidan, matnni umumiy mazmuni va unda ishlatilgan so’zlar bilan tanishamiz. Bu bizga savollarni tezda topishimizga yordam beradi. Garchi matnni to'liq o'qib chigish biroz vaqt talab qilsada, matn haqidagi umumiy tushunchamiz keyinchalik to'g'ri javoblarni to- pishimizni tezlashtiradi va bu o'z navbatida vaqtimizni tejab beradi. Ikkinchidan, matnning boshida berilgan bo‘shliqqa to’g'ri keladigan so’z matn oxirlarida kelgan bo'lishi ham mumkin. Bunday holatda ba’zan test topshiruvchi to'g'ri javobni matn boshidan qidiraverib vaqtini zoye qilishi mumkin. Prediction - bo'shliq o‘rnida kelishi mumkin bo‘lgan so‘zni to‘g'ri bashorat qilish. To‘g'ri bashorat qilishda bir nechta narsani hisobga olish kerak. 1. Bo'shliq o'rniga qaysi so'z turkumiga tegishli so'z go'yish kerak? Otmi, sifatmi yoki fe’lmi? . Bu so'z qanday mazmunda bo'lishi kerak. Bu shaxsni bildiradigan so‘zmi, yoki harakatni bildiradigan so‘zmi yoki biron nimaning sifatini bildiradimi? 3. Bu so'z qaysi grammatik shaklda bo'lishi kerak? -ing qo'shilganmi, o‘tgan zamondami, sifatning qaysi darajasida yoki bo‘shliqdan keyin kelgan predlog bilan ishlatila oladimi? 4, Agar bo'shliqga bir nechta variant to'g'ri kelsa, qaysi biri eng mosi bo'la olishini o'ylab ko‘rishimiz kerak. Odatda o'ylab ko'rganda qaysi s0'z eng mos kelishini asosini topa olamiz. N Locate the answer - to'g' Bizga kerak so‘zni dastlab berilgan bo'shliqning yaqin atrofidan qidirish- ni boshlaymiz.
