【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了澳大利亚是世界上的大岛，它是在南半球，它的面积大但是人口很少，它以羊和袋鼠而出名。

1.句意：它比中国小的多。根据smaller可知，这里应该用比较连词than，故用than。

2.句意：它在南半球。根据常识可知，澳大利亚在南半球，故用south

3.句意：因此在中国是夏天很热的时候，而澳大利亚是冬天很冷的天气。根据summer in China可知，中国的夏天是热的，故用hot。

4.句意：澳大利亚的面积是大的，但是人口很少。根据There are only about 24,000,000 people in Australia.可知，这里指的是人口，故用population。

5.句意：澳大利亚的人口与中国城市的人口是差不多的。句子的主语The population应该用动词的单数形式，故用is。

6.句意：制定足够的法律来反对污染。fight against与……作斗争；故用fight

7.句意：你能很清楚地看见鱼在河里游。see sth doing看见某物正在做某事；故用swimming

8.句意：澳大利亚是以羊和袋鼠而出名。短语be famous for因……而出名，故用for。

9.句意：从任何一个城镇开车出去，很快就会发现你自己在白色的羊群里了。因为句子的主语是you，所以这里用yourself你自己，故用yourself。

10.句意：袋鼠妈妈会把自己的宝宝装进自己的袋子里。根据keeps its baby kangaroo可知，前面指的是袋鼠妈妈，故用mother。
