Everyone has their embarrassing moments. Many celebrities say they ______ in so many embarrassing situations over the years.

A、 had been
B、 have been
C、 were
D、 are

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】 over the years表示从现在算起的过去几年，通常与现在完成时连用。现在完成时表示到说话时为止(或到现在为止)已经发生或完成了(不一定结束)的动作或状态，表达形式为“主语+have/has+动词的过去分词”。句意为“每个人都有尴尬的时候。很多名人说最近的几年里他们也经历了许多令人尴尬的情况”。故选B。
