Because it’s an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago.因为这是一所古老的学校,可以追溯到几百年前。

hundred 表示确数(意为“百”):a/several/具体数字+hundred,hundred后不加s,也不和of连用 The reading room can hold two hundred people.这个阅览室能容纳200人。
hundreds of 表示概数(意为“许多;大量”),不可与具体数字连用 He has hundreds of books. 他有数百本书。
【记忆口诀】模糊数字“两有”(有-s有of),具体数字“两无”(无-s无of)

任务驱动三
In 50 years, life will likely be much more digital. Our homes may have smart devices that talk to each other and even order groceries online when needed. Cars might drive themselves and communicate with traffic systems to avoid traffic jams. Schools might use virtual classrooms where students can learn from teachers and friends around the world.
This future sounds exciting because it will make things easier. People will have more free time for fun and new ideas since machines will do many chores.However, there are worries too. With so many devices connected, our private information might not be safe. Also, if we rely too much on technology, we might forget how to interact with people in person.
