Isbot, tuyg'u emas

Bir xil o'quvchi bir xil matnni ikki xil yechishi mumkin. Birinchi usul: variantlarni o'qib, qaysi biri «to'g'riroq tuyulsa» — o'shani belgilash. Ikkinchi usul: matndan aniq so'zlarni topib, barmoq bilan ko'rsatib, «mana shu javobni isbotlaydi» deyish.

Birinchi usul 500–570 ball beradi. Ikkinchisi 650 dan yuqoriga chiqaradi. Farq lug'atda emas — odatda.

📌 Eslatma: SAT'ning o'zi shu odatga qurilgan: har savolning javobi 60 so'zlik matn ichida yozib qo'yilgan. Sizdan fikr so'ralmayapti. Sizdan topish so'ralyapti.

To'rt qadam

1-qadam — savolni birinchi o'qing. Main ideami, main purposemi, most nearly meansmi? Bu ikki soniya, va u qolgan hamma narsani boshqaradi. Matnni savolni bilmasdan o'qish — qorong'ida qidirish.

2-qadam — matnni to'liq o'qing va javobni o'zingiz ayting. Variantlarga qaramang. O'zingizga o'zbekcha ayting: «javob shu bo'lishi kerak…». Bu qadam tuzoqlarga qarshi eng kuchli himoya.

3-qadam — isbotni ko'rsating. Matnning qaysi so'zlari javobingizni isbotlaydi? Agar ko'rsatolmasangiz, javobingiz taxmin — matnga qayting.

4-qadam — yo'q qiling, tanlamang. Har variantni «bu nega xato?» deb o'qing. To'g'ri javob — qolgan bittasi. Bu ikkalasi «mumkindek» tuyulganda hal qiladi.

💡 Maslahat: 2-qadamni tashlab ketish — eng ko'p uchraydigan xato. Bo'sh bosh bilan variantlarni o'qigan odam eng aqlli eshitiladigan variantni tanlaydi. SAT tuzuvchilari buni biladi va o'sha variantni ataylab yozadi.

Ishlangan namuna

By the 1960s, the rivers that fed the Aral Sea had been diverted to irrigate cotton fields across the surrounding plains. The sea contracted steadily for the rest of the century, and the fishing towns on its former shore were left many kilometres from the water. In 2005, a dam was completed across the strait that had once joined the northern and southern basins. The northern basin, no longer draining into the south, began to refill; the southern basin continued to dry.

Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

  1. Cotton farming is the most water-intensive form of agriculture practised in Central Asia.
  2. The Aral Sea shrank after its rivers were diverted, and a later dam reversed that decline in one basin but not the other.
  3. The dam completed in 2005 has restored the Aral Sea to its original size.
  4. The fishing towns along the Aral Sea were abandoned by their residents.

To'rt qadam bilan

1-qadam. Main idea — matn nimani da'vo qilyapti.

2-qadam. Matnning shakli: sabab (daryolar burildi) → oqibat (dengiz qurídi) → burilish (to'g'on) → ikki xil natija (shimol to'ladi, janub qurishda davom etdi). Javobim: «daryolar burilgach dengiz qurídi, keyingi to'g'on esa faqat shimoliy qismini qaytardi».

3-qadam. Isbot: had been diverted · contracted steadily · began to refill · the southern basin continued to dry. To'rtta ibora — butun javob.

4-qadam.

TO‘G‘RIThe Aral Sea shrank after its rivers were diverted, and a later dam reversed that decline in one basin but not the other — matnning to'rt bosqichini ham qamrab oladi, va oxirgi qarama-qarshilikni (began to refill / continued to dry) saqlaydi.
TUZOQCotton farming is the most water-intensive form of agriculture practised in Central Asia — tashqi bilim. Paxta eslatilgan, lekin matn uni boshqa ekinlar bilan solishtirmaydi — «eng ko'p suv talab qiladigan» degan da'vo bu yerda umuman yo'q.
TUZOQThe dam … has restored the Aral Sea to its original size — yarim to'g'ri: to'g'on bor, to'lish ham bor — lekin faqat shimoliy havzada, va «asl hajmiga qaytardi» matnda aytilmagan. Bir yarim so'z bilan haddan oshirilgan javob.
TUZOQThe fishing towns … were abandoned by their residents — rost, lekin so'ralmagan — va aslida rost ham emas: matn shaharlar suvdan uzoqda qolganini aytadi, aholi ketganini emas. Bu bitta tafsilot, asosiy fikr emas.

At his observatory in Samarkand, built in the 1420s, Ulugh Beg and his astronomers compiled a catalogue of more than a thousand stars. The catalogue's positions were calculated from measurements taken with a single enormous instrument set into the ground, whose great radius made small angular differences readable. Later astronomers found the catalogue's figures remarkably : for many stars they differed from modern values by only a few minutes of arc.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

When a foraging honeybee returns to the hive, it performs a repeating movement on the vertical surface of the comb. The angle of the movement corresponds to the direction of the food source relative to the sun, and its duration corresponds to the distance. Bees that watch the movement then fly out, and they arrive near the source more often than chance alone would explain.

Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

Museums have long displayed objects behind glass, arranged by period and labelled with a date and a place of origin. A visitor learns, in this arrangement, everything about when an object was made and almost nothing about what it was for. Some curators have begun to group objects instead by use — the tools of a single workshop, the vessels of a single kitchen — so that a bowl sits beside the spoon that filled it.

What is the main purpose of the underlined sentence?

A common assumption holds that a language with fewer speakers must be simpler in structure than a widely spoken one. Linguists who have described small languages in detail report the opposite as often as not: many have systems of verb agreement or evidential marking far more elaborate than those of English. If the assumption were correct, such descriptions

To'rtta tuzoq — nomi bilan taniyman

Bu darsdagi noto'g'ri variantlarning hammasi to'rtta shakldan biriga kirdi. Ularni nomi bilan o'rganing — imtihonda ular yana keladi:

TuzoqQanday ko'rinadi
Rost, lekin so'ralmaganMatn haqida to'g'ri gap, lekin savolga javob emas
Doirasi noto'g'riJuda keng («eng…», «hamma…») yoki juda tor (bitta tafsilot)
So'z-tuzoqMatndagi kuchli so'zni qaytaradi, ma'nosini ag'daradi
Tashqi bilimDunyoda rost, shu 60 so'zda isbotlanmagan
⚠️ Tuzoq: Eng xavflisi — tashqi bilim. Mavzuni bilganingizda kuchayadi: Orol dengizi haqidagi matnda o'zbek o'quvchi maktabda o'qigan hamma narsani eslaydi va o'sha bilimni variantlarda «tanib qoladi». Qoida bitta: isbotni ekranda ko'rsatolmasangiz — bu javob emas.
