【解析】

1.句意：去年事故发生之后他变成了一个完全不同的人。Completely副词修饰different。

2.他不喜欢和别人分享。Share sth with sb.固定短语，和某人分享。

3.succeeded in doing成功做某事，故填planting

4.invite sb to do邀请某人做某事，故填to visit。

5.他们一起吃了午饭而且讨论了苹果树。talk about固定短语，讨论。

6.他这样做了，因为他不想让别人看到。根据句意填because。

7.但是没有太阳光，树不就会死的。Without，介词，没有。

8.农民生气地说道。修饰say用副词，故填angrily。

9.如果我在田地里种植，邻居会过来偷树上的水果。从I planted it in my field来看，it单数，所以这儿用it的形容词性物主代词its。

10.但是至少有人会享受水果。这儿指强调，特指，故填the。
