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【M3】______
in that one almost never finds in them a fresh, vivid, homemade turn of
speaking. When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically【M4】______
repeated the familiar phrases, one often has a curious feeling that one is not【M5】______
watching live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling which suddenly【M6】______
becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the speaker’s spectacles and
turns them to blank discs which seem to have no eyes behind them. And this is【M7】______
not altogether fanciful. A speaker who uses that kind of phraseology has gone
some distance toward turning him into a machine. The appropriate noises are【M8】______
coming out of his larynx, but his brain is not involved as it would be if he was【M9】______
choosing his words for himself. If the speech he is making up is one that he is【M10】______
accustomed to make over and over again, he may be almost unconscious of what
he is saying, as one is when one utters the responses in church. [br] 【M10】

答案 up一去掉up
解析 介词赘述。make a speech的意思是“做演讲”，为固定搭配，故将up去掉。
