34、的答案应该是 C。 【知识模块】 综合 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 文中的问题问的是谁是弄碎鸡蛋的罪魁祸首。我们可以从第四段的这句话中得到答案： Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons就在那时，一个妇女推 着购物车走了过来，她把那些堆着的箱子给撞倒了。这说明是一个妇女把箱子给撞倒的，作者不过是去帮忙，却在当时被经理误会了。所以答案应该是 C。 【知识模块】 综合 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 A选项的意思是：撞倒箱子的那个妇女被老板狠狠地批
35、评了一顿。根据文章，事实不是这样的。文中最后一段中有这样一句话： He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs I protested my innocence arid tried to explain but it did no good他狠狠地责骂我并且让我赔偿所有打碎了的鸡蛋。我为自己的清白辩护并且努力去解释，但是根本没有效果。从这句话可以看出作者被老板狠狠地责骂了一番，作者是那个女人的替罪羊。所以 A项不正确。故答案应该选择 A。 【知识模块】 综合 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题考查对全文
36、中心思想的概括，有一定的难度。 A项不是作者想要在本文中表达的思想， A项只是一个客观的事实。 C项也不对，因为作者早已经忘了这件事情，是那个经理让他一点点回 忆起来的。 D项的意思是错误的人物身份识别，可是这句话并没有体现文中 “作者是无辜的 ”这一关键思想，所以 D项不对。经过排除，我们的答案锁定在 B。 【知识模块】 综合 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 作者开篇就指出一个人能说出 “我错了 ”这样的话是相当不容易的，而文中又讲了一个商店的经理在事隔 15年之后向作者道歉。所以作者的态度很明显，没有责怪谁的意思，因为事情都已经过去，并且作者当时很快就忘记了，作者有的只是对那个经理的佩服，因为他敢于在 15年之后承认自己的错误。所以本题的答案应该选择 A。 【知识模块】 综合
