【解析】

本文介绍了每周六西安附近的一个小城镇会上演皮影戏。皮影戏是中国古代的一种艺术形式，如今不是像以前那样流行了。皮影戏艺人们不介意钱多钱少，只是想让这种传统艺术一直富有活力。

【1】根据第一自然段末尾四个词了解到皮影戏的说法是a shadow puppet play，由……制成be made(out)of(看得出来原材料)，由所在翻译句的后一句看到皮革的说法leather，硬的hard。皮影是由硬的皮革制成。皮影这一类东西，不是指一个，用the+复数形式名词体现，谓语动词用are。注意首字母大写，故答案为The shadow puppet plays are made (out) of hard leather.

【2】根据第二自然段第二句“…an object Each puppet is painted…bright colors…”可知，每个皮影被涂上明亮的颜色，be painted in+颜色。根据第三自然段第三句“Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen…the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly.”可知，把皮影举得离屏幕近一点，所以观众们能看清。所以so，故答案为in/so。

【3】根据第三自然段第二句“The audience sit before the screen.”可知，观众坐在屏幕前。before在……前，in front of；根据最后一个自然段第一句“Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind.”可知，尽管工作很辛苦，赚得不多，但是他们不介意。介意mind，care，故答案为in front of/care。

【4】根据倒数第二自然都第二句“…shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before”可知，皮影戏不是像以前一样流行。转换成比以前不流行，故答案为less/than。

【5】本文介绍了每周六西安附近的一个小城镇会上演皮影戏。介绍了皮影戏艺人如何演，皮影戏过去和现在的流行程度。中心词就是皮影戏。词语首字母不大写，注意单数可数名词不单独使用，所以用复数形式更为简洁，故答案为shadow puppet plays。
