An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly (1) ______________ all the money, so that  soon he had (2)_______________ left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends disappeared. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had trouble.
"My money has been used up and my friends (3) _______________,” said the young man. "What should I do now?"
"Don't worry, young man," answered Nasreddin. "Everything (4) ______________ all right soon again. Wait and you will feel much happier."
The young man was very glad. "Am I going to get rich again then? " he asked Nasreddin.
"No, I didn't mean that," said the old man. "I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and (5) _______________ no friends."

Answer 1

小题1:spent
小题2:nothing
小题3:have left
小题4:will be
小题5:having

根据句意可知第一个空选spend，意为“花费”，根据前后时态一致原则，则应填入spend的过去式spent；根据前半句“他花掉了所有的钱”，可知后半句“以至于不久他（没有一点）钱剩下”第二空缺少“没有一点”的意思，故选nothing；“My money has been used up”译为“我的钱已经花光了”，根据这句以及前文意思，不难知道后半句想说“我的朋友已经离开了”，故第三空应选leave，由于后半句需要表达“已经离开”，一直到现在还有影响，故用现在完成时，即“have left”根据前半句也能推敲出用现在完成时，但由于句意没有被动的意思，故不用被动语态；第四空，根据“soon”则知本句要用将来时态，且本句缺少动词，“be right”意为“会好的”，用“have”句意不通，故第四空用“will be”；填完前四空，可知最后一空应填“have”，根据get used to doing sth. 可以应用doing形式，且前面“being”已提示应用doing形式，故第五空应填“having”。
