【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了中山中学师生将对北京大学进行一次参观，并按照时间顺序介绍了具体行程安排。
【详解】第一处：考查主谓一致。本句的主语是the student为复数，因此谓语动词要与主语保持一致，故将is改为are。
第二处：考查介词。句意：除了学生之外，一些老师也会加入。表示“除了...还有”，因此需要在apart后添加介词from。
第三处：考查名词。句意：一些学生的老师，此处teacher是可数名词，数量大于一，应用可数名词复数形式。故teacher改为teachers.
第四处：考查动词。此处return与上文will set off 是并列谓语，时态上要保持一致。故returned改为原形return。
第五处：考查代词。文章是描述中山中学的学生和老师们，是以第三人称的角度，故we改成they。
第六处：考查形容词。句意：早上，他们会参观北京大学的主校区。campus是名词，需要形容词修饰名词，故mainly改为main。
第七处：考查冠词。句意：下午，他们将与刚从中山中学毕业的大一新生有一次直接对话，此处是特指下午的那一场对话，应用定冠词the。故a改为the.
第八处：考查关系代词。且先行词freshman（大一新生）是人，在定语从句中做主语，故用关系代词who/that.。
第九处：考查代词。It作形式主语固定句型 It is believed that…..“普遍认为；大家认为”，故what改为It。
第十处：考查介词。固定搭配make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”，删去to。
【点睛】apart与apart from的区别：
apart：adv. 相距；与众不同地；分离着
adj. 分离的；与众不同的
如：The two houses stood 500 metres apart. 两座房子相距500米。
We're living apart now. 我们现在不住在一起。
apart from：除了…外（还）；它既可用作 besides, 也可用作 except 和 except for.例如:
Apart from them, I had no one to talk to. （= except）
除了他们以外, 我没有人说话.
Apart from other considerations, time is also a factor. (=besides）
除了别的考虑之外,时间也是一个因素.
(It is) Good work apart from a few slight faults. (= except for）
除了几个小毛病以外,这是一篇佳作.
如：Apart from their house in London, they also have a villa in Spain. 他们在伦敦有一座房子，此外在西班牙还有一座别墅。
第二题中考查了apart与apart from的区别，apart单独使用时意思是“分离的；分开的”，短语set apart“使…分开”。此处由上下文可知是除了学生之外，一些老师也会去参观。因此是“除了…..还有”，应使用apart from。

三、 阅读理解
21. As any parent knows too well, sometimes a little white lie is the only way to make a naughty child quid. Indeed, parents have shared the top white lies they’ve told their children. While some of them are amusing, others are somewhat cruel.
“Father Christmas is watching you,” “Carrots will make you see in the dark” and “Your pet has gone to live on a farm” are among the top while lies parents tell their children. The top 20 list of little lies that adults use shows that four in five parents have told their children something that isn’t true. The threat of Father Christmas is on the top, with 62 percent of parents employing St. Nick to keep their kids tinder control. The second on the list is: “We’ll see”, which any little one knows really means “no”.
The majority of British people say that they lie to their children to protect their innocence, to save them from being upset or to stop them behaving badly. The top while lie told to kids about their pets is “your pet has to live on a farm in the countryside”, which is employed after one dies or has gone missing. On average, parents think that children are ready to start learning about death at the age of seven and a half.
One 62-year-old recalled that when he was four, his cat ran away, because it kept having its tail pulled. It was 53 years later that it was revealed that the cat had actually been given away to stop it from scratching the furniture. One respondent (应答者) said that he still remembered that when he was young, he believed his father’s statement that the entire world used to be in black and white before colour photography came along.
Forty percent of parents say that they would definitely lie to their children to keep up their belief in Father Christmas, and over hall say they’d certainly tell the truth about a pet dying. However, one in ten parents say they’ve replaced their children’s dead pet with a one looking the same to cheat their children into believing ii was still alive and well, found the study by Blue Cross pet charity.

15. B
主旨大意题。根据最后一段Forty percent of parents say that they would definitely lie to their children to keep up their belief…，over half say they’d certainly tell the truth和one in ten parents say they’ve replaced their children’s dead pet…可知本段主要在讲述父母对善意谎言的不同态度，故选B.
22. Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.
From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.
Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.
In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.
32. In the author’s opinion, a person has many books at home only to _______.
A. make his house look more beautiful
B. show that his father is a learned person
C. impress others with the fact that he loves reading
D. show that he is rich enough to collect many books
33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Reading a lot is good for writing

A. people in stories are always unbelievable
B. books may help us solve problems
C. writers are good at dealing with problems in life
D. writers often have different experiences in life
35. What can be the best title for the text?
