【2】was pulled

【4】would ask

【6】meant

【解析】短文是小说《野性的呼喊》的节选。介绍了一条名叫巴克的狗被人偷走并拐卖，故事发生在火车上。

【1】句意：那个人坐在一边，眼睛盯着他。根据前后句的时态以及并列连词and后面的sitting判断，此句是过去进行时态，故答案为was sitting。

【2】句意：但这时绳子又被勒紧了，巴克只好松口。主语the rope与动词pull之间是被动的关系，根据and Buck had to let go.判断，句子的时态为一般过去时，故答案为was pulled。

【3】句意：我有五十美元。have got=have有，此句是引用原话，时态为一般现在时，故答案为have got。

【4】句意：一百美元，他会要更多的钱。结合句意以及语境理解，答案为would ask。would情态动词，意思是“将要，愿意”。

【5】句意：这边来，帮我把他弄到这里去。 help sb.(to) do sth.帮助某人做某事，故答案为get/to get。

【6】句意：他不明白这意味着什么。宾语从句的主句是一般过去时态，从句要用过去时态的某种形式，故答案为meant。
