【解析】

1.去动物园不仅仅看一种动物，因此选择animal。

2.根据上下文意思，再根据片名“We Bought a Zoo”可猜测出用“买”最恰当。

3.电影与现实生活相对应。

4.因为妻子死了，两个孩子需要他look after“照料，照顾”。

5.根据上下文可知，他“辞掉，放弃”了工作，使用quits。

6.根据后一句的“…in the country”可知，房子在城外，outside“在……外面”。

7.由于经济危机的影响，可以猜测出是“关门”，选择closed；当然，根据下段的“…reopen the zoo”可确定使用。

8.根据常识，饲养动物的人应该是动物园的管理人员，因此排除前三项，选择zookeepers。

9.“他们没经验也没什么钱”是这工作不容易的原因，用since“既然；因为”。

10.以“熊在某一天逃跑”做例子，显然指的是麻烦事，用problems“困难，难题”。
