That's a very real possibility now that researchers have developed a method to create 3D digital models of historic noighborlouds ing machine learning ad hlstortc Sanborn Fire Insurance maps. But the digital models will be more than just a novelty-they will give researchers a resource to conduct studies that would have been nearly impossible before,such as estimating the fconomic loss caused by the demolition (of historic neighborhoods. This research begins with the Sanborn maps,whtch were created to allow fire insurance companies to assess their responsibility in about 12,000 cities and towns in the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries.In larger cities,they were often updated regularly,said Miller,who is director of Ohio State's Center for Urban and Regional Analysis(CURA). The problem for researchers was that trying to manually collect usable data from these maps was time-consuming-at least until the maps were digitized.Digital versions are now available from the Library of Congress. Study co-author Yue Lin,a doctoral student in geography,developed machine learning tools that can extract (details about individual buildings from the maps,including their locations and footprints,the number of floors,their construction materials and their primary use,such as residence or business. The researchers tested their machine learning jechniques on two neighborhoods.Comparing data from the Sanford maps to today showed that a total of 380 buildings were knocked down in the /two neighborhoods for the highway,"including 286 houses,86 garages,five apartments and three 310r05 Analysis of the results showed that the machine learning model was very accutater in recreating the information contained in the maps-about 90%accurate for building footprints and construction materials. Using the machine learning techniques developed for this study,researchers could develop similar 3D models for nearly any of the 12,000 cities and towns that have Sanborn maps.This will allow researchers to re-create neighborhoods lost to natural disasters like floods,as well as urban renewal,depopulation and other types of change. 32.What were the Sanborn maps originally produced to do? A.To mark lire spots. B.To estimate insurance responsibility. C.To reconstruct historic buildings. D.To design new neighborhoods. 33.What challenge did researchers once meet in the study? A.The lack of financial aid. B.Updating re.ated information. C.Getting paper maps digitized. D.The long process of data collection. 34.Why does the author use some figures in paragraph 7? A To point out the great loss in the illegal demolltton. B.To list the changes between the past and the present. C.To prove the accuracy of the machine leamning model. D.To show the wide application of 3D digital models. 35.What does the underlined word"This'"in the last pasagraph probably mean? A.The creation of similar 3D models. B.The development of cities and towns. C.The neighborhood lost to natural disasters. D.The need for the machine learning techniques. 高二期末考英语试卷 6 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people like sweet food.And being an Indian,sweet is what we all fall in love with every day.According to a study,30 grams of sugar is enough for us every day.36Though sugar can provide you with a short-term pleasure or delight,it's taking a healthy hour from your life.Here are the reasens why sugar cannot be a part of your healthy hour and avoiding it can keep you healthy. y..th high consumption of sugar,you start storing fat in your body.With eating extra sugar,you e unable to store nutritious food,which can lead to a start of unhealthy lifestyle.Brain needs only minimum amount of sugar for functioning.38As we know,cancer cells are fond of sugar,which can even break down your immune system.Therefore,sugar plays a great role in the loss of your health.
