解析:
1. “a long history”是固定短语,表示“一段悠久的历史”,所以此处填“a”。
2. 根据语境可知,这里是说剪纸在节日期间被用来装饰大门和窗户,“is + 动词过去分词”构成被动语态,use的过去分词是used,故填“used”。
3. 前面有“has”,结合语境可知是现在完成时,“has + 动词过去分词”,become的过去分词是become,所以填“become”。
4. 前后句是转折关系,用but连接,表示“但是聪明的、熟练的剪纸艺术家能制作出非常漂亮的艺术品”,故填“but”。
5. 根据语境可知这里说的是“艺术家”,且用复数形式,art的表示“艺术家”的名词是artist,复数是artists,所以填“artists”。
6. “Chinese paper - cutting works”表示“中国剪纸作品”,work作“作品”讲时是可数名词,这里用复数形式,故填“works”。
7. 前面有“are”,结合语境可知是被动语态,“be + 动词过去分词”,hide的过去分词是hidden,所以填“hidden”。
8. “be amazed at”是固定短语,意为“对……感到惊讶”,所以填“amazed”。
9. 修饰动词“look at”要用副词,close的副词是closely,故填“closely”。
10. “Through Chinese paper - cutting”表示“通过中国剪纸”,through意为“通过”,位于句首首字母大写,所以填“Through”。
