【解析】本文叙述了澳大利亚的人口仅仅2400万，但是获得诺贝尔奖的科学家的数量最多，这表明了澳大利亚的教育很好。短文举例叙述了几个科学家的情况。

1.句意：澳大利亚的人口仅仅2400万，但是获得诺贝尔奖的科学家的数量最多，这表明了澳大利亚的教育很好。这里缺少谓语动词，这里win的动作已经发生了，才能知道澳大利亚到底有多少科学家获得诺贝尔奖，所以这里应该用一般过去时。故答案为：won.

2.句意：到目前为止，有12名澳大利亚人收到诺贝尔奖。根据so far可知，句子用现在完成时。故答案为：received

3.句意：1973年诺贝尔的文学获得者的作家是Patrick White.根据in Literature可知，这里指文学的作家。故答案为：writer

4.句意：他被广泛地认为20世纪最重要的英语这种语言作家之一。空格前后是动词，所以应该用副词来修饰。故答案为：widely

5.句意：在2011年最近的诺贝尔的获得者是Brian Schmidt.空格后是名词，所以这里用形容词。根据时间2011年可知，这里离现在最近的时间。故答案为：latest

6.句意：Brian Schmidt于1967年2月24日的美国。在具体的某日用介词on。故答案为：on

7.句意：当他在哈佛大学上学的时候，他遇见了他的未来的妻子Jennifer M．Gordon.这里是时间状语从句。故答案为：When

8.句意：她是澳大利亚人。根据In 1994，Brian Schmidt decided to move to Australia.From then on可知，她是澳大利亚人。故答案为： Australian

9.句意：2011年他和两位美国人一起获得了物理诺贝尔奖。短语share sth with sb和某人一起。根据In 2011可知，这里应该用一般过去时。故答案为：shared

10.句意：现在他的工作是美国加利福利亚大学的一名研究人员。根据For her work，she was given the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology(生理学) or Medicine，sharing it with two other people.

可知，这里指女性，句子的主语应该主格代词she，故答案为：she
