六、任务型阅读。
A natural resource is anything in nature that people can use. People cannot make natural resources, but get them from the earth. Examples of natural resources are air, water, copper, wood, oil, wind energy, hydro - electric energy, iron and coal. Refined (精炼的) oil is not a natural resource because people make it.
We often say that we can divide natural resources into two different groups: renewable resources and non - renewable resources.
A renewable resource can grow again and come back again after we use it. For example, soil, sunlight, water and wood are renewable resources.
A non - renewable resource is a resource that cannot grow or come back, or a resource that will take a very long time to come back. For example, coal is a non - renewable resource. The more coal we use, the less coal there will be underground. One day, there will be no coal to make goods. Non - renewable resource will eventually run out. We can find renewable resources to replace them. It is important to save non - renewable resources, because if we use them too quickly, there will not be enough in the future.
Most natural resources are limited. This means that they will run out. But a perpetual (长久的; 无尽的) resource won't. Some examples of perpetual resources include solar energy, tidal (潮汐的) energy and wind energy.

4. 定位到原文最后一段前两句"Most natural resources are limited. This means that they will run out"，可直接得到大部分自然资源有限的原因。
5. 全文围绕自然资源的定义、分类、特性展开介绍，核心主题就是自然资源，提炼出贴合主题的标题即可。
