解析试题分析:and后的分句已经有谓语动词,所以空格处只能用非谓语动词,又因为the department与take之间是被动关系,故排除BC;in charge of+sth负责某事;in the charge of sb由某人负责,故根据句意故选D。
考点:考查固定短语的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。固定短语主要考查它们的意义,但是它们是在一定的语言环境下而出现的,所以考生必须能正确理解句子的句意。

Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资)available in the developing world. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists(经济学家), but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics(经济因素), with its emphasis on incentives, provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived(剥夺)of an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest(投资)in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy (预言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
