江西省2024屆高三英語二輪專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練：閱讀表達(dá)+寫作（4）
第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)文章后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）Some expressions have made a jump from sports events to everyday life. One such expression is fall guy. A fall guy is the person who someone decides will be the loser or victim.
The first fall guys were men who wrestled for money. At the end of the 19th century, wrestling was a very popular sport in the United States. Wrestling competitions were held not only in big cities but also at country fairs and traveling shows. However, as the sport became more popular, it became less and less of a sport, as many of the matches were operated. The wrestlers knew—before the match—which one of them would be the winner.
The goal in wrestling is to hold the shoulders of your opponent down against the floor. This is called a fall. Sometimes, one of the wrestlers would be paid before the match to take the fall. He would agree
—the fall guy.
Today, a fall guy is anyone who is tricked into taking the blame for the crime or wrongdoing of someone else. There are fall guys in many situations—people who publicly take the blame when something goes wrong.
A fall guy takes the rap for something wrong or illegal. He accepts responsibility and punishment for what someone else did. He may have something to do with the situation, but is not the person who should be blamed.
The word rap has meant blame for several hundred years. The expression to take the rap was first used about one hundred years ago. Another similar expression is bum rap. A person receives a bum rap if he is found guilty of a crime but is really innocent.

Hello, everyone!
I’m glad to make a speech here. When I look back on the past three years, what has impressed me most is the sports meet, in which we ranked first in the 800-meter relay race. It was through our mutual efforts that we won at last, which always reminds me of the importance of teamwork.
Besides, I feel grateful to my teachers, parents and friends, without whose help and support I wouldn’t have achieved so much. Not only have I accumulated lots of knowledge, I’ve also got plenty of experience by participating in various social activities. I’m deeply convinced that I’ll benefit a great deal from my high school life.
In the years to come, I will go all out to do everything well for a brighter future.
Thank you for listening!
