【解析】

這篇短文主要向我們介紹了澳大利亞的地理位置、氣候特征、人口狀況以及其著名的動物綿羊和袋鼠。

【1】“小”的英文表達是 small，此處將澳大利亞和中國進行比較故用比較級 smaller，a little 意為“一點”，可修飾比較級。故正確答案為“Australia is a little smaller than China”。

【2】主語是Australia澳大利亞，in the south of 意為“在…南部”，the earth地球。故正確答案為“澳大利亞在地球的南部”。

【3】when 意為“當……時”，引導時間狀語從句。spring 意為“春天”，autumn 意為“秋天”。故正確答案為“當中國是春季時，澳大利亞是秋季”。

【4】“因……而出名”的英文表達是 be famous for。“綿羊”的英文表達是 sheep，單復數同型；“袋鼠”的英文表達是 kangaroo。故正確答案為“Australia is famous for sheep and kangaroos”。

【5】not only...but also... 意為“不僅……而且……”，outside 意為“在……外面”。outside the cities and towns“在城、鎮(zhèn)以外的地方”。故正確答案為“你不僅能在動物園里看到袋鼠，還能在城市和鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)外面看到袋鼠”。
