Suppose a hunter walks all the way around a tree trying to get a shot at a squirrel. Meanwhile, the squirrel never leaves the tree but keeps crawling away from the hunter so that he can never get a clear shot at the squirrel. In other words, the squirrel keeps the tree between the hunter and itself. When John Brown and Henrietta Lacks discuss this hunting situation, John says the hunter circles the squirrel because the squirrel never leaves the tree and the hunter gets to the north, east, south, and west of the tree. Henrietta disagrees, saying the hunter never circles the squirrel because he will never get round to the back of the squirrel.What can be concluded from the disagreement between John and Henrietta?A. John lies when saying the squirrel cannot escape from the hunter's circle.B. John believes the hunter is flexible enough to finally get a clear shot at the squirrel.C. Henrietta thinks the hunter can never get behind the squirrel and shoot it in its back.D. Henrietta guesses it is the tree that blocks the hunter's sight to accurately target the squirrel.

题目解答
答案
我们来一步一步分析这道题目。
题目大意：
一个猎人绕着一棵树走，试图射击树上的松鼠。松鼠始终不离开树，但一直背对着猎人，使得猎人始终无法获得清晰的射击角度。换句话说，松鼠始终把树挡在自己和猎人之间。
然后，John Brown 和 Henrietta Lacks 讨论这个场景：
- John 认为猎人绕着松鼠转圈，因为松鼠一直待在树上，而猎人走到了树的北、东、南、西四个方向。
- Henrietta 不同意，她认为猎人并没有真正绕到松鼠的“背后”，因为猎人始终无法从松鼠的“背面”射击它。
问题：
从 John 和 Henrietta 的分歧中，我们可以得出什么结论？
选项分析：
A. John lies when saying the squirrel cannot escape from the hunter's circle.
这个选项说 John 在撒谎，说松鼠逃不出猎人的“圈”。但原文中并没有提到 John 说松鼠不能逃，而是说猎人绕着树走到了各个方向。所以这个选项是错误的。
B. John believes the hunter is flexible enough to finally get a clear shot at the squirrel.
这个选项说 John 认为猎人足够灵活，最终能获得清晰的射击角度。但原文中 John 只是说猎人绕到了树的各个方向，没有提到他是否能射中松鼠。所以这个选项也是错误的。
C. Henrietta thinks the hunter can never get behind the squirrel and shoot it in its back.
这个选项说 Henrietta 认为猎人永远无法绕到松鼠的“背后”去射击它。这与原文中 Henrietta 的观点一致：“the hunter never circles the squirrel because he will never get round to the back of the squirrel.”
所以这个选项是正确的。
D. Henrietta guesses it is the tree that blocks the hunter's sight to accurately target the squirrel.
这个选项说 Henrietta 认为是树挡住了猎人的视线，导致他无法准确射击。虽然这可能是事实，但原文中 Henrietta 的重点是猎人“永远无法绕到松鼠背后”，而不是强调树的阻挡。所以这个选项是偏离重点的。
结论：
正确答案是：
$\boxed{C}$
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查对对话内容的理解和逻辑推理能力，需要根据双方的观点分歧推断出正确的结论。
解题核心思路：
- 明确双方观点：John认为猎人绕树走到了各个方向（北、东、南、西），而Henrietta认为猎人无法绕到松鼠的“背后”。
- 抓住关键矛盾点：双方的争议焦点在于“是否能绕到松鼠的背面”，而非其他因素（如树的阻挡）。
- 排除干扰选项：需注意选项是否直接对应对话中的表述，避免过度推断。
破题关键点：
- Henrietta的核心观点是“猎人永远无法绕到松鼠的背面”，而非单纯强调树的阻挡作用。
选项分析
A. John lies when saying the squirrel cannot escape from the hunter's circle
- 错误：题目中未提及John是否撒谎，且John的原意是猎人绕树走到了各个方向，而非“松鼠无法逃脱”。
B. John believes the hunter is flexible enough to finally get a clear shot at the squirrel
- 错误：John的表述仅说明猎人绕树移动，并未明确猎人能否最终射中松鼠。
C. Henrietta thinks the hunter can never get behind the squirrel and shoot it in its back
- 正确：Henrietta明确指出“猎人永远无法绕到松鼠的背面”，与对话内容完全一致。
D. Henrietta guesses it is the tree that blocks the hunter's sight to accurately target the squirrel
- 错误：虽然树的存在是事实，但Henrietta的焦点在于“无法绕到背面”，而非树的阻挡作用。
