答案：
解析：

1．the→a　首次提到气球。 　　2．discover→discovered　由上句“in 1784”知应用一般过去时。 　　3．keeps→keeping　这句话的谓语是was escaping，keep应该是非谓语动词，与air之间是主谓关系，因此应该用-ing形式。 　　4．√ 　　5．up→down　从上文容易知道因为漏气气球在下降。 　　6．light→lighter　扔掉装备是气球变得轻一些。 　　7．So→But　虽然升起来一些，但仍然离水面太近，所以才有下文的脱衣服。 　　8．his→their　主语是the men，两个人。 　　9．去掉for　wait to do sth．“等着做某事”。 　　10．see前加to　be surprised to do sth．“惊讶地……”
