这是一篇介绍《生日快乐》歌曲背景的完形填空，解题时需紧扣上下文语境、词汇含义及固定搭配逐一分析选项。每道题需先定位空格前后的关键信息，结合语境逻辑判断最佳答案：如第1题由前文“outer space”及“song”可知是“唱”这首歌；第2题根据“published”及歌曲名称可知是“标题”；第3题由后文“welcome their students”可知是“问候语”；第4题结合姐姐的教师身份可知是“教书”；第5题由后文“copyright problem”可知是“未经同意”；第6题前后是让步关系；第7题由“changed part of the lyrics”可知是“改动”；第8题由“theft”可知是“生气”；第9题结合版权胜诉可知是“赢了官司”；第10题由“commercially”可知是“付费”。
【解析】
1. 考查动词辨析。前文提到“the first song sung in outer space”，说明宇航员在太空唱了这首歌，sang（唱）符合语境，故选D。
2. 考查名词辨析。根据“published”及“Good Morning to All”是歌曲的名称，under the title of（以……为标题）是固定搭配，故选C。
3. 考查名词辨析。后文提到“Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students”，说明这首歌用作课堂问候语，greeting（问候）符合语境，故选B。
4. 考查动词辨析。前文提到Patty是幼儿园老师，此处指Mildred也在那所幼儿园教书，taught（教）符合语境，故选A。
5. 考查介词辨析。后文提到“copyright problem”，说明这首歌未经姐妹俩同意就出现在歌本里，without（没有，未经）符合语境，故选D。
6. 考查连词辨析。前文说Coleman改了部分歌词，后文说歌曲仍保留原标题，前后是让步关系，although（尽管）符合逻辑，故选A。
7. 考查名词辨析。前文提到“changed part of the lyrics”，说明歌词有小改动，changes（改动）符合语境，故选C。
8. 考查形容词辨析。前文提到歌曲被偷，所以Jessica很生气，angry（生气的）符合语境，故选D。
9. 考查动词辨析。结合后文“The Hill family owned the rights”，说明她赢了官司，won（赢）符合语境，故选B。
10. 考查动词辨析。前文提到版权胜诉，所以歌曲商用时必须付费，paid（付费）符合语境，故选A。
