English Expert 出题不错。

It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism.

It is the prize-givers'money to do with as they please. 

第1句的 it 是形式主语,真正主语to criticize and question the mechanism,被外置。

【翻译】批评和质疑这一机制是公正合理的。

第2句的 it 是人称代词,指代前文提及的money,其实看表语便知。 to do with 作定语修饰money。下文的 as they please 视为方式状语。

【翻译】这是发奖人的钱,他们喜欢用它来做什么就做什么。

原文是这样的:

As much as some scientists may complain about the new awards, two things seem clear. First, most researchers would accept such a prize if they were offered one. Second, it is surely a good thing that the money and attention come to science rather than go elsewhere, It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism—that is the culture of research, after all—but it is the prize-givers’ money to do with as they please. It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.

我觉得这个it是虚指的,类似于结构 It is you to blame,后面的动名词结构to do with as you pleas(as you please 是动名词词组的m状语),整体理解,意“用它想做什么就做什么”。个人观点。
