【解析】

文章大意：本文主要讲一对夫妇在意大利度假，想要去Capri，却因在导航中拼写错地名而去了一个地处相反方向的小镇。

【1】句意：卡普里岛是该国南部的一个岛屿，以其美丽的海岸线和著名的旅游目的地而闻名。
suitable合适的；useful有用的；good好的；famous著名的。根据空后“for its beautiful coastline and a popular tourist destination”讲到卡普里岛有美丽的海岸线，且是受欢迎的旅游目的地，可推出此处是说卡普里岛因这些而著名，famous for以……著名。故选D。

【2】句意：这对夫妇把他们的目的地输进了汽车的GPS，但是他们犯了一个拼写错误。
and和；so因此；or否则；but但是。空前讲“把目的地输入汽车GPS”，空后讲“犯了一个拼写错误”，前后句意出现转折，用but符合题意。故选D。

【3】句意：他们不小心把CAPRI打成了CARPI。
slowly缓慢地；carelessly粗心地，不小心地；patiently耐心地；clearly清晰地。根据空后“typed CARPI instead of CAPRI”讲到了具体的拼写错误，可知此处是说不小心，用carelessly符合题意。故选B。

【4】句意：意大利有个地方叫卡尔皮，但它是意大利北部的一个小镇。
north北方；south南方；east东方；west西方。根据上文“Capri is an island in the south of the country”讲到卡普里岛在意大利南部，而下文“The couple got back into their car and started driving south.”又讲到这对夫妇意识到错误后开始南行，可推出卡尔皮是在意大利北部，用north符合题意。故选A。

【5】句意：虽然他们要去一个小岛，但他们甚至没有过桥或看到海也没有使他们担心。
satisfy牺牲；relax放松；worry（使）担心；touch触摸。根据题干中“Although”引导让步状语从句，可推出此处是说尽管他们要去一个小岛，他们也没有因没过桥或看不到海而担心，用worry符合题意。故选C。

【6】句意：他们问怎么才能去卡普里岛一个有名的海洞——蓝色洞穴。
how如何；where在哪里；why为什么；what什么。根据空后“they could go to the Blue Grotto”结合选项可知是问如何去蓝色洞穴，用how符合题意。故选A。

【7】句意：当然，那里的办公室职员听不懂。
refuse拒绝；control控制；doubt怀疑；understand理解。根据下文“He thought they wanted to go to a ____ called the Blue Grotto for dinner.”可知卡皮尔的工作人员以为他们要找吃饭的地方，由此可推出是不理解他们，用understand符合题意。故选D。

【8】句意：他认为他们想去一家叫做“蓝色洞穴”的餐厅吃晚餐。
museum博物馆；restaurant餐厅；station车站；library图书馆。根据题干中“for dinner”可知要去餐厅，用restaurant符合题意。故选B。

【9】句意：当这名男子意识到这对夫妇以为他们在卡普里岛时，他解释了他们的错误。
continued继续；accepted接受；explained解释；repeated重复。根据下文“The couple got back into their car and started driving south.”讲这对夫妇开始南行，可推出工作人员为其解释了他们犯的错误，用explained符合题意。故选C。

【10】句意：他们很惊讶，但并不生气。
interested感兴趣的；surprised惊讶的；excited兴奋的；pleasd愉快的。根据上文可知这对夫妇输错了地址，没有到达自己的目的地却没有意识到，工作人员指出他们的错误后他们会很惊讶，用surprised符合题意。故选B。
