问题     In our time it is broadly true that political writing is bad writing. Where
it is not true, it will generally be found that the writer is some kinds of rebel,【M1】______
expressing his private opinions and not a "party line." Orthodoxy, of whichever【M2】______
color, seems to demand a lifeless, imitative style. The political dialects
to be found in pamphlets, leading articles, manifestoes, white papers and
the speeches of undersecretaries do, of course, vary from party to party, but
they are all like in that one almost never finds in them a fresh, vivid, home-【M3】______
made turn of speaking. When one watches some tired hack on the platform【M4】______
mechanically repeated the familiar phrases, one often has a curious feeling【M5】______
that one is not watching live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling【M6】______
which suddenly becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the
speaker’s spectacles and turns them to blank discs which seem to have no eyes【M7】______
behind them. And this is not altogether fanciful. A speaker who uses that
kind of phraseology has gone some distance toward turning him into a ma-【M8】______
chine. The appropriate noises are coming out of his larynx, but his brain is
not involved as it would be if he was choosing his words for himself. If the【M9】______
speech he is making up is one that he is accustomed to make over and over【M10】______
again, he may be almost unconscious of what he is saying, as one is when one
utters the responses in church.
【M7】
选项
答案to—into
解析 固定搭配错误。turn…into…意思是“把……变为……”，是固定搭配，故将该行的第一个to改为into。
