【分析】
本题为英语选词填空题，需围绕短文主题（家乡十年的变化），结合语境、词性、时态及固定搭配，从方框所给词中选择并变形。解题思路：1. 通读全文把握主旨；2. 分析每个空格的词性需求（如修饰动词用副词、修饰名词用形容词等）；3. 结合语境选合适的词，按语法规则变形（如名词变复数、动词变过去分词等）；4. 检查确保每词限用一次、语义通顺。
【解析】
1. 空格修饰动词changed，需用副词，great的副词形式为greatly，故填greatly。
2. 空格修饰名词roads，需用形容词，sandy（多沙的）符合语境，故填sandy。
3. 考查固定搭配be covered with（被……覆盖），此处用cover的过去分词covered构成被动，故填covered。
4. 不定式符号to后接动词原形，support（供养）符合“供养家人”的语境，故填support。
5. rows of后接可数名词复数，factory的复数是factories，对应“工业区的工厂”，故填factories。
6. 与supermarkets、restaurants并列，需用名词复数，library的复数是libraries（公共设施），故填libraries。
7. 空格修饰名词town，需用形容词，modern（现代化的）符合语境，故填modern。
8. 考查固定搭配be amazed by（对……惊讶），故填by。
9. 考查固定搭配relax oneself（放松自己），主语为they，反身代词是themselves，故填themselves。
10. 现在完成时结构为has+过去分词，grow的过去分词是grown，grow into表示“发展成”，故填grown。
