【答案解析】本题考查的是名词的辨析。circumstance“情形”；situation“情况”；condition“条件”；background“背景”。分析原句结构可知，“that makes the faculty member from abroad an asset”是空格处的定语，由此可以推测此处的意义是“外籍教师成为珍宝的是他们的外籍背景”。因此D项为正确答案。
【答案解析】本题考查的是动词的辨析。本句的意思为“外籍研究学者常常把呆在实验室里作为一种自我保护的方式”。separate一般用于separate A from B结构中，表示“把 A从B中分离出来”，与原文内容不符。isolate常用于结构“isolate sb．somewhere”，表示“把某人隔离在某地”，学者“长时间地呆在实验室里”就相当于“把自己隔离在实验室里”。prevent常用于prevent sb．from doing sth．结构，表示“阻止某人做某事”，也与原文不符。lock可以作及物动词，表示“把……锁起来”，但是学者呆在实验室里，并不代表他把自己锁起来，故排除此项。因此B项是正确答案。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】本题考查的是习惯搭配。结构“be fitted to”，表示“适应于……”；“be fitted with”表示“装配”；fit in表示“找时间做……”，例如：“He said he could fit me in at 5:00 p．m．”(他说他可以把我安排在下午五点)；fit不能与by连用。本句的意思为“他所需要的是适应组织高度严密的大学体制”。因此A项为正确答案。
【答案解析】本题考查的是动词的辨析。分析原句的结构可知“what the new comer can”是 take advantage of的宾语从句，而what又是空格处的宾语。exhibit“展示”；afford“负担得起”；offer“提供”；endure“忍受”。联系本句的结构和意思，可知C项为正确答案。
【答案解析】本题考查的是定语从句。分析原句结构可知{{U}} (43) {{/U}}further study is called做field的定语从句。where相当于in/at which，在从句中做状语成分，为本题的正确答案。许多学生可能会选择which或that，但which或that引导定语从句时，一般做从句的主语或宾语，将其带人原句空白处，句子就不通畅了，所以应该排除。同样，as也不能在从句中充当宾语。
