Despite the recent election of a woman to the office of prime minister, the status of women in Pakistan is little changed from how it was in the last century.
A. is little changed from how it was
B. is a little changed from how it was
C. has changed little
D has changed little form how it has been
E is little changed form the way it was


为什么是c？
是不因为change 后面不可加from啊？

我认为last century是一个段时间，所以从时态上看应该用完成时才对所以在c&d中选
现在完成时本身就已经包括过去了所以没有必要在加上from how it has been.况且都用完成时就更不对了呀！！
所以选C

还是想不通呢~
linlin牛牛说last century 表示了完成时
可是我疑惑的是，last century 就一定表示完成时吗？
我觉得last century的作用应该修饰妇女地位阿，表示上个世纪的妇女地位

还是用排除法吧。找出其他为什么错。
首先it指向不明；其次被动语态的表达很模糊，没有写出动作由谁发出；更何况change本身就可以作不及物动词。

1)  因为有despite所以后面应该有转折，　所以应该用a little而非little.表示虽然选出女总理，但是妇女地位如何如何．
２）被动语态不要选；
３）from  是介词，后面接how不合适．

同意第2楼的说法。

首先主句要用完成时态这一点我想是没有什么问题的，但是关键是C/D之间的区分。那么当又两个动词出现的时候我们首先应该注意的是他们可否用统一的时态，很明显change 这个动作不是和be这个动作发生在同一个时间。那么D的这种说法就是错误的。并且D是一种十分罗嗦的说法，我举一个OG的例子。

75. If the proposed expenditures for gathering information abroad are reduced even further, international news reports have been and will continue to diminish in number and quality.

have been and will continue to diminish
have and will continue to diminish
will continue to diminish, as they already did,
will continue to diminish, as they have already,
will continue to diminish
Choices A and B fail because the logic of the sentence demands that the verb in the main clause be wholly in the future tense: if x happens, y will happen. To compound the problem, the auxiliary verbs have been in A and have in B cannot properly be completed by to diminish. C, D, and E supply the correct verb form, but C and D conclude with faulty as clauses that are awkward and unnecessary, because will continue describes an action begun in the past. E is the best choice.

这是ｏｇ75题其实这两个题目有着相似的地方就是change这个词已经表示出了变化肯定是从过去到将来的变化，from how.....就是画蛇添足。体会一下这个题目应该又帮助。

这样都可以想到og,真是牛就一个字,
我看来og还要多看啊

我的看法：

（1）根据OG，被动语太不是不让用，而是用起来不知道动作的行使者是谁。因此staus of women ...changed ..., 比 status of women ... is changed (ETS will ask by who...)要好。

（2）跟句逻辑句意，要比较的时现在的status of women和过去一世纪的status of women相比，如果一定要加一个从句，是否应该是what it was in the last century较好。

个人意见。
