网考网解析：
[解题思路] 动词辨析。let意为“允许，让”；allow意为“允许，承认”；permit：意为“许可，允许，准许”；admit意为“容许，承认，接纳”。动词的主语是that，指代前文的four-year institutions“四年制的机构”，动词的宾语是students“学生”，搭配是：动词+宾语+from结构。四个选项均有“允许”的意思，而“允许”的含义与文章内容不匹配，本题考查考生对一词多义的掌握能力，此处选择的是admit的特殊含义“接纳”。正确答案只能为[D]。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
