这篇短文主要向我们介绍了澳大利亚的地理位置、气候特征、人口状况以及其著名的动物绵羊和袋鼠。

【1】“小”的英文表达是 small，此处将澳大利亚和中国进行比较故用比较级 smaller，a little 意为“一点”，可修饰比较级。故正确答案为“Australia is a little smaller than China”。

【2】主语是Australia澳大利亚，in the south of 意为“在…南部”，the earth地球。故正确答案为“澳大利亚在地球的南部”。

【3】when 意为“当……时”，引导时间状语从句。spring 意为“春天”，autumn 意为“秋天”。故正确答案为“当中国是春季时，澳大利亚是秋季”。

【4】“因……而出名”的英文表达是 be famous for。“绵羊”的英文表达是 sheep，单复数同型；“袋鼠”的英文表达是 kangaroo。故正确答案为“Australia is famous for sheep and kangaroos”。

【5】not only...but also... 意为“不仅……而且……”，outside 意为“在……外面”。outside the cities and towns“在城、镇以外的地方”。故正确答案为“你不仅能在动物园里看到袋鼠，还能在城市和乡镇外面看到袋鼠”。
