解析

试题分析：克拉克夫妇一直以来有个梦想，就是带着九个孩子前往美国旅行。经过几年的奋斗，他们终于有了足够的钱，并为之做好一切准备。然而，出发的前7天，小儿子被够咬了，生命危急，一家人不得不取消旅行。克拉克先生悲愤至极。5天后，他们获悉，他们预备乘坐的轮船在途中遇险，几百条人命丧生大海。克拉克先生感激涕零。这正是“祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏”。
小题1:句意为：夫妻两人省吃俭用、不辞劳苦，让九个孩子和他们自己也可能到美国。Possible形容词“可能的”，在句中做宾语补足语。
小题2:句意为：他们花费了好几年攒够钱，为这次旅行做好准备。Get ready for固定短语，意思是“为……走好准备”。
小题3:句意为：然而，启程的7天前，最小的儿子被狗咬了。根据下文的内容可知他们没能开始这次旅行，所以是出发前。
小题4:句意为：医生医治了那个男孩，但由于可能是狂犬病，他们被隔离14天。两个分句之间是转折关系，所以填连词but。
小题5:句意为：这家人的梦想没有成真。Come true 是固定短语，意思是“实现，成真”。
小题6:句意为：看着没有克拉克家人的轮船离开，克拉拉为他们的厄运相当生孩子和上帝的气。Get angry with是固定短语，意思是“生某人的气”。
小题7:句意为：5天后，一则坏消息传遍苏格兰。Spread是动词，意思是“传播”。
小题8:句意为：泰坦尼克号带着几百条人命沉没了。Hundreds of意思是“数以百计，好几百”。
小题9:句意为：克拉克一家本应该在那条船上，但由于儿子被狗咬了，他们被留在了苏格兰。Leave sb behind是固定短语，意思是“留下，忘带”。
小题10:句意为：他感谢上帝将坏事变成了好事。Turn into固定短语，意思是“将……变成……”。
