题目解答
答案
C. It can constrain and undermine a person's potential.
解析
本题考查对限制语言对个人潜力影响的理解。解题思路是分析每个选项所表达的限制语言对个人潜力的作用,然后结合常识和对限制语言含义的理解来判断正确选项。
- 选项A:“It expands a person's potential.” 意思是限制语言会扩展一个人的潜力。通常情况下,限制语言是带有约束性的,不太可能起到扩展潜力的作用,所以该选项不符合常理,予以排除。
- 选项B:“It has no effect on a person's potential.” 表示限制语言对个人潜力没有影响。然而,语言是具有影响力的,限制语言必然会在一定程度上对人的思维和行为产生作用,进而影响个人潜力,所以该选项不正确,排除。
- 选项C:“It can constrain and undermine a person's potential.” 指出限制语言会约束和损害一个人的潜力。限制语言往往会给人设定一些界限和框架,让人的思维和行动受到局限,从而阻碍个人潜力的发挥,该选项符合对限制语言作用的理解,是正确的。
- 选项D:“It motivates people to exceed their limits.” 说限制语言能激励人们超越极限。但限制语言本身是带有约束性的,与激励人们超越极限的作用相悖,所以该选项错误,排除。
