解析【小題1】去動物園不僅僅看一種動物，因此選擇animal。
【小題2】根據上下文意思，再根據片名“We Bought a Zoo”可猜測出用“買”最恰當。
【小題3】電影與現實生活相對應。
【小題4】因為妻子死了，兩個孩子需要他look after“照料，照顧”。
【小題5】根據上下文可知，他“辭掉，放棄”了工作，使用quits。
【小題6】根據后一句的“…in the country”可知，房子在城外，outside“在……外面”。
【小題7】由于經濟危機的影響，可以猜測出是“關門”，選擇closed；當然，根據下段的“…reopen the zoo”可確定使用。
【小題8】根據常識，飼養動物的人應該是動物園的管理人員，因此排除前三項，選擇zookeepers。
【小題9】“他們沒經驗也沒什么錢”是這工作不容易的原因，用since“既然；因為”。
【小題10】以“熊在某一天逃跑”做例子，顯然指的是麻煩事，用problems“困難，難題”。
