一、用括号内所给动词的正确时态填空
1. I always (ask) to draw the heroes.
2. The main character usually (design) by the lead artist.
3. Strong colours (choose) for the action scenes.
4. First, the script (write) by the writer. Then, the characters are drawn
by the artist.
5. The speech bubbles (add) last to ensure the art isn't blocked too early.

1. am; asked 2. is; designed 3. are chosen 4. is written 5. are added

【分析】
首先判断句子语态：各句均有动作执行者（由by引出），需用被动语态；再根据频度副词（always、usually）或时间提示（last）确定时态为一般现在时；最后依据主语的单复数确定be动词形式，再将括号内动词变为过去分词，同时注意频度副词（always、usually）置于be动词之后。
【解析】
1. 主语为I，一般现在时被动语态中be动词用am，ask的过去分词为asked，故填am; asked。
2. 主语the main character为单数，be动词用is，design的过去分词为designed，故填is; designed。
3. 主语strong colours为复数，be动词用are，choose的过去分词为chosen，故填are chosen。
4. 主语the script为单数，be动词用is，write的过去分词为written，故填is written。
5. 主语the speech bubbles为复数，be动词用are，add的过去分词为added，故填are added。
【答案】
1. am; asked 2. is; designed 3. are chosen 4. is written 5. are added
【知识点】
一般现在时被动语态，动词过去分词
【点评】
本题考查一般现在时被动语态的核心用法，需掌握被动语态结构、be动词随主语的数变化规则及频度副词的位置，属于基础语法题，适合巩固被动语态的应用。

【解析】
1. 主语Red paper与动词select是被动关系，且描述客观情况，用一般现在时被动语态，结构为“is+过去分词”，故填is selected；
2. 主语it指代red paper，是第三人称单数，表客观事实，用一般现在时主动语态，动词用第三人称单数形式，故填means；
3. 主语the process是第三人称单数，表客观事实，用一般现在时主动语态，动词用第三人称单数形式，故填teaches；
