【4】led

【5】experienced

【6】was selected

【7】which

【8】it

【9】but

【10】problems

【解析】

【1】考查固定搭配。succeed in doing sth.成功做某事，故答案为in。

【2】考查动词不定式。The first（second---）to do sth.做某事的第一（第二---）---，此处是动词不定式做后置定语，故答案为to reach。

【3】考查名词。句意：新西兰的登山家、探索者和慈善家。结合句意可知答案为explorer。

【4】考查过去分词。句意：这两件事都是1953年John Hunt率领的第九次英国探险之旅的一部分。the ninth British expedition to Everest 和lead之间是被动关系，此处是过去分词做宾语补足语，故答案为led。

【5】考查固定结构。be experienced in doing sth.在做某事上有经验。故答案为experienced（有经验的）。

【6】考查被动语态。句意：Edmund Hilary从新西兰被选中。文章在讲述过去的事情，所以句子用一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为was selected。

【7】考查定语从句。句意：他们在上升的过程中建造了9个营地，其中一些至今仍被登山者使用。本句包含一个非限制性定语从句，nine camps是先行词，指物；介词后面用whom（指人）、which（指物）引导定语从句，故答案为which。

【8】考查固定搭配。make it成功做成某事，故答案为it。

【9】考查并列连词。句意：事实上，第一支队伍到达了距离峰顶300英尺的地方，但他们在5月26日离开了。前后是一种转折，故答案为but。

【10】考查名词复数。句意：由于天气不好，他们被迫离开，因为他们的氧气罐有问题。此处是there be句型，根据were可知句子主语用复数形式，故答案为problems。
