看到這樣的題目，相信新東方的學(xué)員應(yīng)該感覺很熟悉。上課的時候講過的一篇例文：教材15頁第三篇。寫作思路和表達完全吻合。
再者，各個機構(gòu)所有的預(yù)測作文都沒有姓名的話題，說明命題人的反預(yù)測意識確實很強。當(dāng)然，這在一定程度上保證了考試的公正性。
希望大家還是以夯實基礎(chǔ)為重中之重。不要相信所謂押中考題，更不要考前押寶孤注一擲。
教材15頁例文如下：
Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck?
There are people who believe that some numbers bring good luck, while others bring bad luck. For instance, in China the number eight is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the number seven is considered lucky, but the number 13 is avoided like the plague.
In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that numbers have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect calculators to break down every time they note the number 13, and for another, although every week has seven days we know that not every week is lucky for us.
Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view. It is obvious that there is no scientific basis for the belief that there is a connection between luck and numbers. All in all, it seems to me to be superstition.
課堂例文：
The Importance of Name
There are individuals who believe that names are of vital importance for them. They argue that some names bring good luck, while others bring bad luck. For instance, in China the name Wangcai is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the Bill Gates is considered important, but some names are avoided like the plague.
In spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that names have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect all Chinese are called Wangcai and the like when they are born, and for another, although one may be named Wangcai we know that he is not a billionaire.
