【C19】
选项 A、conducting
B、awaiting
C、receiving
D、considering
答案B
解析 本题考查动词辨析。空格处填入的分词形式表达“全国卫生研究所(the agency)”对“专家小组的评论(the panel’s review)”发出的动作。由后文before deciding…可知，该动作的目的是为了决定进一步的工作。B项awaiting“等候”正确。干扰性较大的可能是D项considering“考虑”，但根据上下文可知，专家小组应该还没有提出什么研究结论或对未来工作的评论，因此D项不正确。conduct意为“管理，引导”，receive意为“接受”。
