10、ocedure?-All the applicants _ before a final decision is made by the authority.A. interviewB. are interviewingC. are interviewedD. are being interviewed解析：该题考查被动语态。applicant申请人和interview面试/采访之间是被动关系，因此排 斥A和B项。根据问句，“那么，程序是怎样的？”可知，整个过程还尚未开始，D项是现在进行时，意为正在发生因此排除D项。答案：C 33.

12、er, we couldnt be standing here in a queue. A. have bookedB. bookedC. bookD. had booked解析：该题考查if引导的虚拟条件句的用法。根据we couldnt be standing here in a queue可知，该句是if引导的虚拟条件句。根据earlier可知，从句是对过去的虚拟，对过去虚拟时，从句应该用had done结构，因此选择D项。答案：D35. -You neednt take an umbrella.
