【解析】

文章大意：本文的作者买了一辆二手“新”车。他打算把自己的旧车以非常便宜的价格卖给自己有经济困难的同事。当作者的妈妈了解此事后，她想让作者把车子免费的送给同事，她给作者车钱。作者被善良的妈妈感动了。他想像妈妈一样，去帮助更多的人。

【1】句意：我花了大约6000美元买了它。

sb spend some money on sth. 某人花费多少钱做某事，固定搭配，句中spent是spend的过去式，故答案为on。

【2】句意：他一直在看二手车。

本句是现在完成进行时，结构是have/has been doing sth，表示一直在做某事，故答案为been。

【3】句意：所以我问他想花多少钱买一辆车。

根据“pay for”可知前面问的是金钱，故用how much，故答案为how。

【4】句意：我告诉她我打算以300美元的价格把车卖给我的同事。

sell sth. to sb.卖……给某人，sold是sell的过去式，套用短语，故答案为to。

【5】句意：她告诉我让我免费把车送给他，她将付给我1500美元。

根据句子结构分析，本句中“she would pay me ＄1,500”是“She told me”的宾语，也就是宾语从句，两个句子之间缺少一个连接词，因句子不缺任何成分，故答案为that。
