32、s they know what to look for.None of us likes to be cheated, and David Modic has done some researches on it. Its the personal passion that has convinced Modic to study the psychology of cheating. He s not alone:the field is thriving, and the information that researchers are uncovering is valuable to
33、 us all-from those single in search of love to the technology wizards（人才） in charge of the worlds online security.Modic is particularly interested in what makes people easy to fraud.Its common to imagine that only the foolish or poorly educated might fall victim-but even hard evidence suggests this
34、is not the case.Take Paul Frampton,an Oxbridge educated academic professor of physics for example.In 2012 Frampton was given almost 5 years in prison for drug smuggling in Argentina,after falling victim to an online dating frauds.And then theres John Worley.As a psychotherapist,Worley knows more tha
35、n most of us about controlling lifes right ways.But in 2005 he was put on trial for bank fraud after becoming a victim of a fraud.This fraud sees people contacted by someone claiming to be a Nigerian government official appealing for help moving large sums of money out of the country who just requir
36、es a little money upfront （预付的）to release the fortune.Worley was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison.Intelligent and experience offer no protection against cheaters,says Modic.“If it did,then better educated people and older people would be less likely to fall for scams.And that is not
37、 supported by my research.”To look for answers to that question,Modic and Frank Stajano have quizzed thousands of people,asking them first whether they think various frauds are reasonableand whether they have fallen victim to them before asking them to perform a personality test.The research has ide
38、ntified a number of characteristics that people who are victims of frauds seem to in common.Some of these traitslike a lack of self-control we would probably recognize as dangerous.But othersa trust in authority,a desire to act in the same way as our friends,or a tendency to act in a consistent wayw
39、e might think of as good characteristics.58.According to the passage,the frauds may _.A.threaten the worlds online security B.play their tricks in a consistent wayC.receive much education of psychology D.have high intelligence to help cheating59.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that _.A.who and what make
40、s people easy to fraudB.all walks of life would be likely to fall for scamsC.the poorly educated may be easier to be cheatedD.government officials should be responsible for frauds60.Modic and Frank Stajanos researches find out that the victims _.A.often follow friends actionsB.also share good charac
41、teristicsC.are considered to be dangerousD.shouldnt have a trust in authorityCElectronic sensors built into paper could be used in a range of ways from information storage to touch screens and more.Electronic sensors built into cartons（纸盒）may make it easier to tell when its time to throw out rotten
42、milk or orange juice.And thats just the start.At least thats the goal for researchers working on putting electronics into paper.Theyre trying to figure out how to combine the flexibility,low-cost and recyclability of paper with the information-carrying ability of electronics.Daniel Torbjork,a physic
43、s graduate student in Finland,has been working on the problem.Hes published a review of the field in the the journal Advanced Materials.Much research has been focused in this area.While most electronic applications require patterned conducting（传导的） structures,conductive paper could be used in applic
44、ations such as energy storage devices.sensors,electric heaters and others,according to Torbjork.“You could even have some interactive functions in magazines,” Torbjork said,“You could put a simple game in a package.If you want a touch screen,press a button and then something happen.Sensors in paper
45、could tell us when something has gone bad.”Additional applications,such as information storage and security paper,have been suggested for magnetic papers containing magnetite.In Massachusetts,researchers have figured out how to post a video of such a device put into a paper airplane.German researche
46、rs have also put electronic chips in paper bank notes to defend counter-feiters（造伪币者）.Paper is a good material but printing electronics also requires low-cost manufacturing.As many US and European paper makers lose market share to cheaper paper from China,these big paper companies are looking for ad
47、ded value products.Thats where electronic paper devices could make a difference.“The major obstacles are papers large surface roughness and chemical impurities.”Torbjork says.But others in the field think that electronic sensors in paper are still far from the consumer marketplace.“I don t think it
48、s going to happen.” said Roy Horgan.“You need a conductive surface.It could be 10 years out.What we are looking for are solutions that you can commercialize today.”Solar Print is partnering with Italian automaker Fiat to develop a unique auto-glass with tiny photostatic cells（光电）that can capture ele
49、ctricity from the sun.In the meantime,using paper to conduct electricity is still a “blue-sky” project.“I would love to See someone prove me wrong,because that means that its actually happening.” Horgan said.“If someone comes up with conductive paper,then thats a very interesting technology.”61.Putt
50、ing electronics into paper will _.A.cut the cost and impurity of paperB.depend on flexible conductive structureC.help consume rotten milk or orange juiceD.combine the advantages of paper and electronics62.Paragraphs 4 to 7 mainly talk about the _ of the conductive paper.A.practical useB.theoriesC.st
51、ructuresD.design process63.Some paper makers welcome the new technology probably because it will _.A.put an end to fake moneyB.make the paper smootherC.add more value to paperD.improve the printing technology64.From the passage,we know that Roy Horgan _.A.has a burning desire to make a great profit
52、B.showed much interest in Solar Print industryC.is not confident about the conductive paperD.started a “blue-sky” project to study paperDLita CabEllut is one of Spains most successful artists,but the woman whose paintings now sell for six figure sums spent her early years living on the street.“My ch
53、ildhood was like that of thousands of street kids around the world.” says Lita.She used to wander the streets and slept in the open air.Lita was born in a village in Aragon,north-east Spain,in 1961.While she was a baby,Lita was left with her grandmotherbut in reality she spent most of her time out o
54、n the streets.“I ran after the walkers.They gave me money to buy packs of cigarettes or sandwiches,and I kept the change.” Looking back,she says.“Art,of course,was there because art is always around us.” But she was occupied with survival then.According to the 2014-2015 annual report,now her vivid p
55、ortraits can sell for $100,000 or moreactors Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry,as well as chef,Gordon Ramsay,are each reported to own one,such as The Coco numero 4,Alam and Eddy Wenting and about 200 painting,drawings and more.Among the works and masters on exhibition the visitors will find the best piec
56、es,most importantly Eddy Wenting.So what changed the course of Litas life so dramatically? Litas grandmother died when she was about 10 years old and she ended up in a Barcelona orphanage（孤儿院）before being adopted by “a beautiful Catalan family” two years later.She wont reveal much about them,except
57、that they introduced her to art.They took her to Madrids Prado museum,and introduce 13-year-old Lita to A Pilgrimage to San Isidro,which was painted between 1820 and 1823.“I recognized Goyas painting the expressions in the eyes of the people that I crossed in the streets when I was little,” she says
58、.“This painting describes the hope,the terrific moments that the human being can have when you lose your security.For me,when I saw this painting for the first time I felt the complicity（关联）of being a witness.”It made such an impression on her that she tried to copy another Goya,one of his sweeter w
59、orks describing a country boy with a girl and a dog.The result was not spectacular but her adopted family encouraged little Lita to keep paintingthey even paid for private tutors to make up for lost time.And for the first time in her life,she also started going to school.“Its difficult for me at sch
60、ool as I was so far behind Its hard to start learning to read and write when you are 13,and then theres the psychological difficulty of being put into a class where classmates are much younger.I had a lot of private classes to learn everything.”She slowly made progress,started to listen to the “voic
61、e of art” and decided to study art at Amsterdams Academy.The “three big masters” who influenced her the most were Spains painter Goya,the sculptor Donatello,and German composer Bach.After graduating for many years,she stayed in the Netherlands and managed to establish a studio and now she has one in
62、 The Hague,but success didnt come easily.“I did things like giving someone a painting so they would pay my electricity bill and painting a house to get three months credit in a supermarket.When you are in a growth period as an artist you have to defend it amazingly because you need time to become a
63、master.If you exchange that time for money,you dont get that time back to develop yourself.”At one point,having established a good relationship with an honorable gallery,she derided to start all over again,and didnt sell anything for two years.“I had painted a shocking series on child but her collea
64、gues said,No,Lita,you cant do this.People dont want this.Paint more angels,those angels that sell so well. I said No,and I lost my gallery.”Although Lita has held solo exhibitions in London. Dubai and Seoul, she is little known in her mother land. Two shows in 2017 are aimed at remedying this: a ret
65、rospective（回顾展） at Barcelona,and an exhibition at A Corunas art museum where her studio will be recreated.As for her birth mother, Cabellut says she has forgiven her for abandoning her. She recalls once visiting her when the painter was a student but found it impossible to tell her how she felt.65.W
66、hat can we know about Litas childhood life?A.She was given birth to in the Netherlands.B.She was adopted by an orphanage in 1973.C.She lived an ordinary life with her mother.D.She lost her grandma at the age of twelve.66.According to the passage,we know the painting “A Pilgrimage to San Isidro _.A.w
