【解析】

试题分析：本文是Tom和Sandy之间的一组对话，在对话中他们提到了考试成绩和学校里的一些传言。Scott一直很努力，但是这名优秀的学生却没有通过考试，他们两个人对此感到很吃惊。

1.must考查情态动词。根据上句“It seems that only half of the students passed the final exam.”推断考试应该非常难，所以学生才只有一半通过考试，填must。

2.surprised 考查形容词。此处表示说话人感到惊讶，主语是人，所以用surprised

3.including. 考查介词。本句是therebe句型，句中有谓语动词are，所以include不做谓语。用介词including做状语。

4.one考查代词。从语境可知此处表示Scott是好学生之一，one of +限定词+复数名词，“…之一”，填one。

5.got考查动词。从上文语境Did she pass?判断应该用一般过去时态，填got。

6.absolutely考查副词。此处是修饰形容词unbelievable，应该用副词形式，填absolutely。

7.a考查冠词。student是可数名词，此处表示单数概念，填a。句意：Scott是一个比他姐姐要好的多的学生。

8.unfair考查形容词。根据上文内容可知Scott是一个很努力的学生，但是没有通过考试，而他妹妹不刻苦，却得到了好成绩，所以说话人认为这不公平，填unfair。

9.what考查连接词。此处是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，所以填what。

10.that考查连接词。此处是同位语从句，解释说明rumor的内容，句中不少成分，意思完整，所以填that。

考点：考查语法填空
