【分析】
首先通读全文，明确本篇短文围绕当代年轻人重新流行上夜校学习传统艺术的社会现象展开，把握整体叙事逻辑和时态基调。解题时逐个空格结合三类依据推导：1. 平时积累的固定短语、常用句型搭配；2. 空格前后的词性要求，判断是否需要进行词形转换（动词变名词、形容词变副词等）；3. 上下文的逻辑关系、时态语态规则，最终确定每个空的正确形式，做完后再通读校验全文逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
56. 考查固定搭配：be used to doing sth. 表示“习惯于做某事”，此处to是介词，后面要接动名词形式，因此spend变为spending。
57. 考查固定短语：make a difference是固定表达，意为“有影响、起作用”，因此填不定冠词a。
58. 考查固定句型：it is + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth. 是it作形式主语的常用句型，表示“对某人来说做某事是…的”，此处表示对老师们来说满足年轻人的文化需求是有意义的，因此填for。
59. 考查时态和被动语态：主语The night art school和set up（建立）是被动关系，时间状语in 2016是过去的时间，要用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为was/were+过去分词，主语是单数，因此填was set。
60. 考查固定搭配：be interested in是固定表达，意为“对…感兴趣”，此处修饰人，表示人的感受，因此填interest的形容词形式interested。
61. 考查副词用法：此处需要副词修饰后面的形容词same，作状语，表示“出人意料地和一杯手冲咖啡价格一样”，因此形容词surprising变为副词surprisingly。
62. 考查连词：根据后文“After it opened, it began offering all such classes at a low price”的逻辑，这里要表达“在这所夜校开办之前，年轻人很难找到传统艺术课程”，句首首字母大写，因此填Before。
63. 考查名词复数：句意为“由著名的艺术家授课”，artist是可数名词，这里指代多名授课的知名艺术家，要用复数形式，因此填artists。
64. 考查主谓一致：句子主语The stress是不可数名词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，因此填causes。
65. 考查反身代词：relax oneself是固定表达，意为“放松自己”，此处指代前面的people，对应的反身代词是themselves，因此填themselves。

56. spending 57. a 58. for 59. was set 60. interested

七、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
Many Westerners think that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a wrong belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Some Chinese kung fu stars made kung fu popular in the Western world. The cool and impressive performances they gave in films like *Rumble in the Bronx* and *Enter the Dragon* made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually encouraged by a hip-hop group. It was founded in the early 1990s in New York City.
In their songs, they sometimes discussed philosophical concepts哲学理念 that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to the hip-hop group—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practise kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life—Be formless, shapeless, like water. By this, you should be ready to change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
66. Who made kung fu popular in the Western world?

67. What was the writer's personal interest in kung fu encouraged by?
