1.The man in the corner confessed to ____ a lie to the manager of the company.
A) have told B) be told C) being told D) having told
答案:D confess to(坦白承认)中的to 是介词,所以排除接不定式的可能,A、B项不选,“撒谎”有了宾语 a lie,不可能再用被动语态,所以C项也排除。

A) pour scorn on B)heap praise upon C) give vent to D)cast light upon
答案:B heap praise on/upon 大肆赞扬。pour scorn on/upon 讥笑,看不起。give vent to 发泄。cast light on/upon 提供线索(或情况) ,帮助弄清楚,使有某种理解。

5.Nobody has arranged for John to live in that house, but he has____ it for a month now.
A) kept B) held C) possessed D) owned
答案:B have, hold,keep,own 和possess 几个词都有“有,持有,具有”的意思。have 是最普通的用语。意义极广,常用来表示宾语和主语之间的一种所属关系。own 是指合法的获取,具有法律上的所有权,因此主语只能是人。possess 意指占有自己的东西,既可以是有形的,也可以是无形的,它的主语可以是人,也可以是物。hold 和keep 除有possess 和own的意思外,还有保持和控制的意思,hold 是指守护某物,不让人夺走,即使是合法拥有该物的人;keep 表示阻止某人占有某物。
