. a; / B. /; a C. the; the D. a; the
1．【解析】选A。考查冠词。make a breakthrough “突破,取得突破性成就”；come back to life“复活，活跃起来”。都是固定短语，所以选A。
2．Tom went to open the door. ______ his father began to wash dishes.
A. However B. Nevertheless C. Besides D. Meanwhile
2.【解析】选D。句意：汤姆去开门，在此期间，他爸爸开始洗碗。meanwhile “在此期间，与此同时”，选D。
3. After walking in the Shanghai World Expo for a whole day, my legs _________ under me and I couldn’t walk any farther.
. gave up B. gave out C. gave in D. gave away
3．【解析】选B。give out “用尽，筋疲力尽；发表，公布；分发”；句意为：在上海世博园里走了一整天，我的腿筋疲力尽，不能再走了。give up“放弃，中止”; give in“屈服，让步”；give away“赠送，免费给予”。
4．All the senior schools in Shandong make __________ a rule to have free Saturdays and Sundays.
. this B. that C. it D. them
4．【解析】选C。考查代词。it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是to have free Saturdays and Sundays。只有it可以作形式宾语。
5．East of our school ____ that make electric motorbikes.
A. are two companies B. is two companies C. two companies is D. two companies are
5．【解析】选 。考查倒装和主谓一致。表示地点的短语east of our school用于句首，句子要倒装，主语是two companies，因此谓语要用are。
6. When I wanted to express my thanks to him，words _____ me. I just held his hands firmly and choked.
A. left B. fled C. forgot D. escaped
6．【解析】选D。考查动词词义辨析。escape意为“被遗忘；脱离”，符合句意“当我想对他表示感谢时，我一句话都说不出来，只是紧紧地抓着他的手，哽咽着”。leave 表示离开，不表示遗忘；flee“逃跑”；forget表示人遗忘了某事。
