СОР АНГЛ 1 И 2 ЗАДАНИЕ Task 1. Read the article and answer the questions based on the reading passage. Don’t forget to
go back to the passage whenever necessary to find or confirm your answers.
Competing for Resources
The resources of any one environment are limited. Depending on which plants and animals share the
environment, there may not be enough of everything to go around. All organisms need water, food and
shelter to stay alive. These resources are beneficial, which means they are good for the organisms. When
an environment is low on any of these things, organisms must compete for them. Those who get to the
resources first have the best chance of survival. Being without water, food or shelter for very long is
detrimental, which means it is harmful to organisms.
The resources in an area determine how big the plant and animal populations can be. Sometimes
there are too many living things in an area. The weakest of the populations will not be able to get the
resources they need. As the weak die out, the populations get smaller. Finally, the area’s resources
recover and can support them again.
Sometimes people will capture members of large animal populations and move them. They take
them to another location with less competition. This helps the animals survive.
Sometimes the government will allow hunting of large animal populations. Deer and rabbits can be a
good food source for people. When there are too many of these animals in an area, They sometimes come
into the cities looking for food. They often cause trouble. Hunting keeps the number of animals under
control.
Answer the questions.
1) Why do organisms sometimes have to compete for resources?
2) What kinds of things are beneficial for organisms?
3) What happens when populations grow too large for an area?
4)What is harmful for organisns?
5) What helps the animals to survive?
6)What needs organism to stay alive?
