五、A)[文章大意]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统工艺——蓝印花布的历史、制作过程，以及如今对其的传承与创新情况。
61. centuries [解析]考查名词复数。“between the 7th and 10th”表示多个世纪，应用century的复数形式centuries。故填centuries。
62. including [解析]考查介词。此处表示“包括南通在内的江南地区”，include是动词，此处用介词including起补充说明作用。故填including。
63. impossible [解析]考查形容词的否定形式。根据“without great skill”可知，如果没有精湛技艺，制作完美的蓝印花布是不可能的，possible的否定形式是impossible。故填impossible。
64. were putting [解析]考查过去进行时。根据“while they ... a special paste(糨糊) onto white cloth with tools”可知，工人们在将糨糊涂在布料上时，必须非常小心地确保涂出清晰的图案。while引导的时间状语从句常用进行时，此处描述过去的场景，应用过去进行时，主语是they，be动词用were，put的现在分词是putting。故填were putting。
65. finished [解析]考查一般过去时。根据“In the past”和整段语境可知，描述过去的制作过程，用一般过去时，finish的过去式是finished。故填finished。
66. protection [解析]考查名词。“the ... of this craft”中缺少名词，protect的名词形式是protection，意为“保护”。故填protection。
67. easily [解析]考查副词。此处修饰动词find，需要用副词，easy的副词形式是easily。故填easily。
68. more popular [解析]考查形容词比较级。根据“even”和“by using its patterns in modern clothes”可知，设计师让蓝印花布更受欢迎，popular的比较级是more popular。故填more popular。
69. themselves [解析]考查反身代词。“let young people try making it ...”中，it指代蓝印花布，此处表示“让年轻人自己尝试制作”，用反身代词themselves指代young people。故填themselves。
70. will shine [解析]考查一般将来时。根据“If we go on to value and innovate(创新), this ancient blue art ... again some day”可知，此句为含有if引导的条件状语从句的复合句，主句用一般将来时，结构为“will+动词原形”。故填will shine。
