試題分析：本文介紹了登上愛好者喬治·馬洛里登珠穆朗瑪峰山頂的故事。他和另一名登上愛好者于1924年登上了距離珠穆朗瑪峰山頂幾百米的地方，自此之后，便與人類失去了聯系。后來到了1953年，新西蘭人埃德蒙•希拉里和尼泊爾人丹增•諾爾蓋最終到達了珠穆朗瑪峰的山頂。之前的情況只是猜測。

1.喬治·馬洛里曾在1921年和1922年試圖登上珠穆朗瑪峰的山頂，但兩次都失敗了。try to do sth意為“盡全力做某事，試圖做某事”，古答案為tried

2.根據開頭第一段的內容可知，馬洛里是在1924年才登上山頂的，所以，這兩次的爬山登上山頂的努力都失敗了；故答案為both

3.在1924年的6月8日，他和另一名登山運動員安德魯·歐文爬到了距離山頂只有幾百米的距離。away表示距離，有多遠；故答案為away

4.登山隊的其他隊員看著馬洛里和歐文緩慢地朝山頂爬去。根據本句內容可知，應該是其他的登山運動員看著他們兩人朝山頂爬；故答案為members

5.然而，天氣有大霧，很快他們就在大霧中消失不見了。霧大自然會視線模糊；故答案為disappeared

6.他們再也沒有回來。return

7.1953年，新西蘭人埃德蒙•希拉里和尼泊爾人丹增•諾爾蓋最終到達了珠穆朗瑪峰的山頂。抵達山頂用動詞reach；故答案為reached

8.大部分人認為他們是最先抵達珠穆朗瑪峰山頂的，但是有些人懷疑是馬洛里和歐文最先到達那里的。故答案為whether

9.但是，他和歐文是否曾經到達山頂仍然是不為人知的。Still表達仍然；故答案為unknown

10.曾經有人問過為什么想要登上世界上最危險的山峰。本句表達原因；故答案為why
