"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

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

根據句意可知第一個空選spend，意為“花費”，根據前后時態一致原則，則應填入spend的過去式spent；根據前半句“他花掉了所有的錢”，可知后半句“以至于不久他（沒有一點）錢剩下”第二空缺少“沒有一點”的意思，故選nothing；“My money has been used up”譯為“我的錢已經花光了”，根據這句以及前文意思，不難知道后半句想說“我的朋友已經離開了”，故第三空應選leave，由于后半句需要表達“已經離開”，一直到現在還有影響，故用現在完成時，即“have left”根據前半句也能推敲出用現在完成時，但由于句意沒有被動的意思，故不用被動語態；第四空，根據“soon”則知本句要用將來時態，且本句缺少動詞，“be right”意為“會好的”，用“have”句意不通，故第四空用“will be”；填完前四空，可知最后一空應填“have”，根據get used to doing sth. 可以應用doing形式，且前面“being”已提示應用doing形式，故第五空應填“having”。
