【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了生日快樂歌，這首歌曲的由來。

1.聯(lián)系上下文可知此處指的是它是由一個美國女孩譜寫的。結(jié)合語境可知本句描述的是過去的動作，故用一般過去時態(tài)。主語是動作對象，故用被動語態(tài)。填：was written。譜寫，寫。

2.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是她沒有錢給他們買禮物。不定式做賓語補足語表示具體的將要進行的動作，結(jié)合語境可知填不定式to buy，買。做補足語。

3.結(jié)合語境可知她母親說的是不要擔心。英語祈使句的否定形式一般是don’t+動詞原形。故填：Don’t worry，不要擔心。

4.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是唱首歌怎么樣。本句中about是介詞，后面接名詞或者動名詞作賓語，結(jié)合所給單詞，可知填動名詞singing，唱歌。

5.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是唱歌他的朋友聽。聯(lián)系前文不定式符號to，可知填原形動詞sing，唱。

6.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是，我們以前從來沒有聽到過如此的一首歌。結(jié)合語境可知本句描述的是現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完成的動作，故用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，填：haven’t heard

考點：短文中動詞的運用能力

點評：由于本題已經(jīng)給出所需單詞，故完成比較簡單。解答此類題型的方法一般就是根據(jù)上下文及時間狀語，主語的人稱與數(shù)，判斷出動詞的時態(tài)和數(shù)的變化，然后進行適當?shù)脑~形變換，完成閱讀。注意在敘事性短文中，謂語動詞多為一般過去時態(tài)及現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，說明性短文中謂語動詞多為一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。
