as dori0214 said, "allow" means "admit" or "concede" when "allow that" 不用虚拟语气. 

for example:  "must allow that money causes problems in marriage".  (from m-w)

90.   Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.

(A) investment officers’ fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began

(B) investment officers’ fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

(C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun

(D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun（D）

(E) that investment officers’ fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began

The clause beginning Since 1986... indicates that the practice described in the second clause continued for some period of time after it began. Choice D, the best answer, supplies the present perfect have begun, which conveys this continuity; D also uses a construction that is appropriate when “allow” means “permit”: allow... to be based on. Choices A, B, and E incorrectly use the past tense began rather than the present perfect; furthermore, in each of these options, they has no referent, since officers is a possessive modifier of fees. Choices A and C include the awkward phrase based on how the funds they manage perform.
                Choices C and E incorrectly use allow that...fees be based.

难道allow that…ETS不prefer??ETS只是说allow that…后面不能用虚拟语气?????

allow sth/sb to do sth:

to let someone do or have something, or let something happen

allow that:

to accept that something is correct or true, or that something is acceptable according to the rules or law

提干中应该是使得...；允许...的意思，所以用allow to do
