It can be inferred that the use of tense

A.is completely unnecessary in some local languages
B.converts abstract ideas into objective things
C.helps avoid certain ambiguity in concepts or ideas
D.makes it possible to modernize Hopi language

参考答案

C

答案解析

  定位:根据题干信息词tense定位到第三段最后两句。
解析:本段将有时态的语言与没有时态表现形式的语言对比,最后两句指出在没有时态表现形式的语言(如霍皮语)中 “人无法把天数、分钟数或年份当成石头或瓶子这类的物体计算。像‘我会等两天’或‘三年过去了’这样的日常表达在霍皮语里是不可能出现的”。由此可推测,像霍皮语这样没有时间概念的语言自然会造成概念等方面的模糊性,而借助于时态则能避免这种模糊性,故C项符合文意,为正确答案。
