We believe that educating the “whole student” opens the door to the “whole world”. Our rich
and dynamic co-curricular program enables each student to experience an exceptional array of
activities, carefully designed to provide just the right level of challenge, engagement and fun. Our
exceptional co-curricular program is delivered by dedicated teachers and staff members or by
experts from the wider community. As a result, each student is encouraged to pursue his or her
passions and talents. Co-curriculars also provide a valuable opportunity for our students to
develop flexibility and perseverance by challenging them to step outside their comfort zone and
try something new:
Kindergarten: Beginnings
Our youngest students learn about themselves and their important place in our school
community by engaging in activities that introduce them to the wonders of the natural world and
that develop their motor skills.
Junior School (Grades 1~5): Discovery
Co-curriculars in junior school are designed to enable our students to discover new talents
and interests while developing their existing skills. Student agency and confidence are nurtured
through the program, with an emphasis on participation and fun as well as on skill development.
Middle School (Grades 6~8): Exploration
The Middle Years are the perfect time for students to explore a wide variety of co-curricular
activities. At a stage when many young people experience a lack of self-confidence, co-curriculars
in our middle school are designed to challenge, to engage and to celebrate the unique qualities that
each student brings to the school community.
Senior School (Grades 9~12): Focus
In our senior school, students are encouraged to refine their interests and to specialize in
certain areas. The co-curricular program at this level allows them to develop mastery and to focus
on specific activities of choice.
21. Which of the following might be one of the purpose of co-curriculars?
A. To create a stress-free campus.
B. To ensure that students’ dreams come true.
C. To make students feel comfortable.
D. To build a complete personality for students.
22. In what kind of school do students need to develop athletic ability?
A. Junior school. B. Middle school. C. Kindergarten. D. Senior school.
23. Many students in middle school may often ____.

Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities. The
world opens up in ways that mature our vision and give us a sense of responsibility and
gratefulness. Connor had just started college and loved being at that stage in his life where he
could eat all the pizza he wanted, get engaged in adult conversations with his parents about the
responsibility to make life better for others. Connor’s optimism was infectious. There was so
much he could do, and so much he could become.
But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted while driving on a Colorado high-
way. A young man,who gave off so much light, suddenly went dark.
Connor’s father, David, took it particularly hard. A father sees more than his own traits ( 性
格) in his son; he sees greater possibilities than he achieved. Taking that hope away left David
feeling at a loss. But Connor’s optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father. So,
David got to work.
First, he established the Honor Connor Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in
the community. Next, he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates
University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting while
driving. It includes a very simple three part promise: Do not text or use social media while
driving, speak out if riding with a driver who is distracted and encourage friends and family to
drive phone-free
David now works with lecturers at various colleges and high schools, ensuring young minds
understand how statistically at risk they are when they text while driving. He’s become a
passionate advocate for preparing young people to drive safely and not reach for their phones
while they’re at the wheel. “I just don’t want other parents to go through what I did when I lost
Connor,” says David. “It’s just so preventable.”
24. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To set off David’s great pain of losing his son.
B. To explain why David chose to volunteer.
C. To give the background of a funny story.
D. To sing high praise for Connor’s healthy growth.
25. What happened to Connor on a Colorado highway?
A. The headlight of his car went wrong.
B. He died from another driver’s careless driving.
C. He suffered an accident for his father’s fault.
D. He drove carelessly and died in an accident.
26. From whom did Connor get the positive attitude towards life?
A. His coach. B. His father. C. His teacher. D. His grandfather.
27. Why did David work with lecturers under a research-based curriculum?
A. He wanted to take a job in a college.
B. He took the classes that Connor hadn’t finished.
C. He honored Connor for what he had done in the community.
D. He wanted to prevent the sad event that he had suffered.
C
Dear boss — You have always tried to attract young consumers, and our consultants have
always come up with new ways to label them. The trouble is that coming up with rules to define a
group of humanity is more art than science. It is likely to become an exercise in applying
stereotypes; not every youngster is drinking kombucha in a Brooklyn storehouse. Luckily you
have me, and I’m here to tell you that much of what is written about marketing to today’s most
prized consumers is a myth.
Start with the idea that, glued to smartphones, youngsters barely notice the physical world
and passively follow the latest hit from Instagram or TikTok. It’s true that the days of marketing
chiefly through television, newspapers and magazines are long gone. However, social media has
not just changed the ways people discover brands; it has weakened the power of marketing as a
whole. Online, talk is cheap and prices are readily Googled. Digital natives, therefore, can easily
fact-check our suspicious marketing claims and ads. Surveys suggest that young Americans are
among the most price-sensitive food shoppers, even though they have accumulated less wealth
than earlier generations had by the same age.
There is a similar urge to think that physical shops no longer matter. Young consumers love
their Amazon deliveries. It makes sense for our company to make sales via social media and ship
directly to customers’ homes. But what works best is the close integration of the digital and
physical worlds. Remember those online-only beauty brands like Glossier, which took the world
by storm during the pandemic. It turns out that they struggle to get repeat business and have had to
pair up with physical shops. What really matters is avoiding insincerity. Dishonesty is easily
exposed online, where everyone loves a takedown. Remember the strong resistance to Boohoo, a
fast-fashion firm, when it appointed Kourtney Kardashian, a celebrity leading a luxurious life, as a
“sustainability ambassador”? And commit only to causes you can tangibly support and be frank
when you are putting profits first. Anyway, nobody is perfect. To pretend otherwise is so 2013.
28. Why is there trouble with finding rules to define a group of people?
A. Because not everybody is into drinking tea at a storehouse.
B. Because fixed ideas may be inappropriately employed.
C. Because art is more challenging to learn than science.
D. Because the consultants are not as expert as the author.
29. What is the purpose of mentioning the surveys about young Americans in Paragraph 2?
A. To prove they are not passive receivers of online marketing tricks.
B. To illustrate they are sensitive to the prices of food online.
C. To demonstrate marketing has a great impact on their spending habits.
D. To reveal their incompetence in saving money.
30. Which of the following statements may the author agree with?
A. Celebrities work as reliable ambassadors.
B. Young customers don’t visit physical shops.
C. Dishonesty in marketing was not rare in 2013.
D. Traditional media still play a major role in marketing.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. How to Expand Youth Market: From Ideas to Practice.
B. How to Increase Sales Online: Labeling and Marketing.
C. How to Attract Young Customers: Honesty and Profits.
D. How to Sell to the Young: From Myth to Truth.
D
Given how valuable intelligence and automation are, we will continue to improve our
technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than
we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve
themselves. The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than
we are. And the slightest divergence (分歧)between their goals and our own could destroy us.
Just think about how we relate to ants. We don't hate them. We don't go out of our way to
harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the
sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them
without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they're
conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.
The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems
that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the
station, and there's no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are,
they will very likely develop in ways that we can't imagine, and transcend us in ways that we can't
imagine.
So imagine we hit upon a design of super intelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This
machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build the
machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw
materials. So we're talking about the end of human labour. We're also talking about the end of
most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in these circumstances?
But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have
to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to
make sure it's a god we can live with.
32.Why does the author mention ants in Paragraph 2?
A. To compare intelligent machines to ants.
B. To explain future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy.
C. To stress the presence of machines does conflict with our goals.
D. To show improved machines will get away from us.
33.What does the underlined word “transcend" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Disable. B. Inspire. C. Disappoint. D. Outpace.
34.How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving assumptions.
C. By showing valid evidence. D. By analyzing statistics.
35.Which of the following statements can best summarize the author's viewpoint towards AI?
A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.
B. Super intelligent AI will put an end to human labour eventually.
C. We should keep the development of AI within humans’ control.
D. Human beings should stop the development of super intelligent AI.
