试题分析：本文介绍了登上爱好者乔治·马洛里登珠穆朗玛峰山顶的故事。他和另一名登上爱好者于1924年登上了距离珠穆朗玛峰山顶几百米的地方，自此之后，便与人类失去了联系。后来到了1953年，新西兰人埃德蒙•希拉里和尼泊尔人丹增•诺尔盖最终到达了珠穆朗玛峰的山顶。之前的情况只是猜测。

1.乔治·马洛里曾在1921年和1922年试图登上珠穆朗玛峰的山顶，但两次都失败了。try to do sth意为“尽全力做某事，试图做某事”，古答案为tried

2.根据开头第一段的内容可知，马洛里是在1924年才登上山顶的，所以，这两次的爬山登上山顶的努力都失败了；故答案为both

3.在1924年的6月8日，他和另一名登山运动员安德鲁·欧文爬到了距离山顶只有几百米的距离。away表示距离，有多远；故答案为away

4.登山队的其他队员看着马洛里和欧文缓慢地朝山顶爬去。根据本句内容可知，应该是其他的登山运动员看着他们两人朝山顶爬；故答案为members

5.然而，天气有大雾，很快他们就在大雾中消失不见了。雾大自然会视线模糊；故答案为disappeared

6.他们再也没有回来。return

7.1953年，新西兰人埃德蒙•希拉里和尼泊尔人丹增•诺尔盖最终到达了珠穆朗玛峰的山顶。抵达山顶用动词reach；故答案为reached

8.大部分人认为他们是最先抵达珠穆朗玛峰山顶的，但是有些人怀疑是马洛里和欧文最先到达那里的。故答案为whether

9.但是，他和欧文是否曾经到达山顶仍然是不为人知的。Still表达仍然；故答案为unknown

10.曾经有人问过为什么想要登上世界上最危险的山峰。本句表达原因；故答案为why
