网考网参考答案：A
网考网解析：
A选项的意思是：撞倒箱子的那个妇女被老板狠狠的批评了一顿。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 and tried to explain， but it did no good．(他狠狠的讥讽我并且让我赔偿他所有鸡蛋的损失。我为我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的讥讽了一番，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。 查看试题解析出处>>
