分析 本文主要介绍了中国的剪纸这项民间艺术．
解答 61．was invented 考查被动语态．根据句意：纸是由蔡伦发明的．paper与invent之间是被动关系，所以答案填was invented．
62．types 考查固定结构．one of+名词的复数形式，意思是"…之一"，根据句意：造纸术成为中国民间艺术最重要的类型之一，type是名词类型，所以答案填types．
63．with 考查with的符合结构．根据句意：不同地区采用各自的文化风格，with+名词+doing，在句中做状语．
64．Usually 考查副词． 根据句意：通常情况下，艺术品是用红纸，因为红色在中国文化中是幸福，usually在句中做状语．
65．happiness 考查名词．根据句意：在中国红色是幸福．介词with后跟名词，happiness是名词"幸福"．
66．its 考查代词．根据句意：它的漫长的历史，its是形容词性物主代词"它的"．

69．a 考查固定短语．a number of是英语的固定搭配"许多大量"，根据句意：很多的孩子．
