PASSAGE READING

Please read aloud the following passage. I will check your pronunciation as you read.

READ

Energy

In Japan, the percentage of self‐sufficiency in energy is only 8%. Over 80% of crude oil that is necessary for thermal power generation and 30% of natural gas are exported from the Middle East. In 2011, Japan needed to buy more crude oil and natural gas to secure enough energy which costed over 15 trillion yen.
It is anticipated that the demand for primary energy will increase by 35% more in 2035 than the present demand. Japan has been dependent on thermal power generation and they need to find several ways to generate and secure energy supply.

[TOEFL] Task 6_Exercise 1

LECTURE READING 1

I will read aloud the lecture below. Please listen and take notes.

READ

It’s estimated that by 2050, our population will reach 9.8 billion which is 1.6 billion more than the current population. By then, areas that are currently used for agriculture will soon be dry due to lack of rain. In today’s lecture, I’d like to introduce two types of plants: succulents and annuals. They are expected to solve the anticipated lack of food.
Succulents are plants that store water in leaves, stems, and roots. They adapt to dry climates or soil conditions. Cacti are the most famous succulents. In general, plants lose water when they breathe through their leaves, so the bigger the surface area of their leaves, the bigger amount of water turns into steam. Cacti minimize the use of their leaves and breathe through their stems instead. Also, these plants breathe only at night to store water.
Annuals are plants that can complete its full life cycle in one growing season. Many annual plants grow from seeds, complete their life cycle quickly during the rainy season, and survive in the form of seeds in the following dry season. These plants are not affected by extreme dry conditions. Annual plants are common in semi-dry places where rainy season is of short duration.
What I have shown you may solve the possibility of food shortage in the coming years. However, we still need to look at it from different angles. Furthermore, the natural phenomena that took place in the past 40 million years could serve as an implication on how we can survive in the future.

Now, please read aloud the lecture above.

Using the information and examples from the lecture, talk about why the mentioned types of plants are expected to solve the anticipated lack of food.

SAMPLE ANSWERS

The professor is talking about population increase and the anticipated lack of food.
According to the professor, there are plants which are expected to solve the anticipated lack of food.
The professor introduces two types of plants: succulents and annuals.
First, the professor gives an explanation about succulents that can adapt to dry climates or soil conditions.
They store water in leaves, stems, and roots. Also, the professor introduces cacti as an example of a succulent and explains how they store water.
Second, the professor gives an explanation of the annuals that can complete its full life cycle in one growing season.
The professor also introduces annuals as an example of plants that are common in semi-dry places where the rainy season is of short duration because they are unaffected by extreme dry conditions.
In this short lecture, I learned that succulents and annuals are unusual plants that can live in dry or semi-dry climates.

LECTURE READING 2

I will read aloud the lecture below. Please listen and take notes.

READ

Have you ever paid attention to natural materials? The materials that can be found in plants, insects, and animals. What comes to your mind when you hear natural materials? Maybe you’re thinking of cotton, silk, and leather. These are correct, but today I’ll introduce the two strongest natural materials. The first strongest material is from plants, and the other one is from insects.
The first material is a nanofiber called nanocrystalline cellulose. It can be found in sequoia trees. A sequoia tree is usually 80 meters tall. It can carry hundreds of tons of weight and can live for 400 to 1,300 years. It is said that the nanocrystalline cellulose can bear 10 times more weight than steel. We can make strong shirts and gloves when we mix this strong material with an existing one.
In insects, cat fleas have the strongest materials in their body. It is an elastomeric protein called resilin. Resilin is a rubber and is the most flexible one in the world. When this rubber is squeezed or stretched, it will lose almost no energy. The flexible nature of resilin enables cat fleas to jump 100 times higher than their height.
If we extract these two materials’ DNA, we can create the strongest material. It can be used in cell phone cases, protective clothes, and sports wear. However, the reason why we focus on these materials is because they can improve medical items like artificial bones or artificial internal organs. Studying these materials can give people better options.

READING PRACTICE

Now, please read aloud the lecture above.

QUESTION

Using the examples and information from the lecture, talk about how nanocrystalline cellulose and resilin could improve our life.

Female:
 Good morning.
Male:
Hi, have you seen the announcement?
Female:
Yes, I saw it a while ago. We need to buy the new uniform before
September.
Male:
I don’t like the new regulation.
Female:
Why?
Male:
First, a 60-dollar uniform is too expensive for students. We don’t have enough time to get a part-time job just to earn enough money to buy it. We have classes until 7:00 p.m. every day. I understand that they are doing this for our safety, but I think there are other ways to do that.
Female:
That’s true.
Male:
Also, the regulation is too strict. They said we will not be allowed to attend any laboratory classes if we don’t wear the uniform. Laboratory classes are required in our course. We will fail if we couldn’t attend it because of this new regulation.
Female:
 I think the uniform is not necessary because we wear proper clothes
anyway.
Male:
Anyway, I’ll find a way to buy one. I don’t want to fail my laboratory classes.

Female:
 I can’t believe it. When I was about to enter my room last night, I found out that I lost my key.
Male:
 Have you tried asking the lost and found department?
Female:
 Yes. They told me that my key is not there.
I informed the admin office that I lost my key. I think I lost it when I went hiking yesterday.
Male:
 If that’s the case, just consider it lost. You should ask for a new one.
Female:
 I asked the admin office for a spare key and they said that it’ll take a week. They can’t lend me a key due to their security policy.
I always have to ask them to open the door for me. It is a waste of time as it takes 10 minutes to go to the office.
Male:
 Why don’t you try to ask your roommate to go back to the room with you? You are in the same class, aren’t you?
Female:
 Well, my roommate is in her hometown. She won’t be back until next week.
Male:
 I see. All you can do now is to wait for your new key. You just have to be patient for another week.
Female:
 Yeah. But I have to be in the library until 9:00 p.m. to work on my report.

SAMPLE ANSWERS

The female student and the male student are talking about a problem the female student has.
The problem is that she lost her key when she went hiking.
The male student offered two suggestions to help her solve her problem.
His first suggestion is to ask the admin office to make a new key and wait for a week.
The second suggestion is to ask her roommate to go back to the room with her.
I agree with the first suggestion, because it offers a permanent solution to the problem. Asking her roommate to go back to the room together is inconvenient for both of them. Waiting for a week for the admin office to give her a new key is inconvenient but it is worth it.
