8、系，即remind sb.to do sth.“提醒某人干某事”，所以，此处选用过去分词表示被动关系。D项是主动形式，应该用被动结构having been reminded才行。句意：被提醒别晚了11点的火车后，那个大学生匆匆赶往火车站。答案：A11Could you tell me when the important meeting about developing economy _？Ais held Bwill be heldCto be held Dholds解析：考查动词的时态。选项在when引导的宾语从句中作谓语动词，hold与meeting之间是被动关系，并且，会议在将来召开，
