【解析】
逐一分析选项：A.at once意为“立刻”；B.in fashion意为“流行”；C.by hand意为“手工”；D.at risk意为“处于危险中”。结合语境，剪纸有消失的风险，符合语义的是at risk，因此选D。

方法归纳
完形填空
完形填空所选短文一般无标题，第一句话往往是引领全文的主题句，是了解文章全貌的“窗口”。做题可遵循以下两个步骤：
· 速读浏览全篇，捕捉文章的中心，能够确定的答案可直接选出；不确定的答案，再仔细阅读一遍文章，根据上下文解决。
· 选好答案后，要结合所选答案将全文逐句阅读一遍，从语法、用词等方面检查全句内容是否正确、是否与全文的意思相符、是否不合理或句意前后矛盾。
