(答案→)spent
解析：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”。
