《纽约客》、《经济学人》...如何利用外刊文章提升GRE阅读实力？

想必很多备考GRE的小伙伴都有过这样的想法：可不可以不刷题，就能提高阅读能力呢？答案是，还真有。

想要提高GRE阅读的硬实力，就需要提升自己的批判性思维以及文本的分析能力，而精读外刊可以说完美地做到了这两点，那么哪些外刊适合精读，如何精读，外刊哪里找？快跟小新一起往下看吧！

阅读理解不是死记硬背单词——相反，大家应该学会在上下文（语境）中理解单词的含义并学习新单词。强烈推荐大家仔细阅读这些文章以提高阅读理解能力：

• The Economist 经济学人（文末可领取）

• The Atlantic 大西洋月刊

• New Yorker 纽约客（文末可领取）

这些外刊中的大部分文章不仅充满了高级词汇，而且在语气和风格上也与 GRE 的文章相似。这些文章来自各个领域，包括商业、科学和文学，选材极为广泛。

我们先来看一篇来自The Atlantic 大西洋月刊的商科文章节选：

Outsider, non-founder CEOs are often overvalued because many corporate boards think the answer to their problems is a superstar CEO with an outsized reputation. This leads them to overpay for people who are good at creating outsized reputations through networking, interviewing, and taking credit for other peoples’ achievements—all bad indicators of future success.

Rakesh Khurana has amply shown how this delusion of the charismatic savior creates a dysfunctional market for CEOs, allowing the small number of existing public-company CEOs to demand and receive extravagant compensation. The myth of the generalist CEO is bolstered by the many fawning media portrayals where CEOs say that their key jobs are understanding, hiring, and motivating people—leading board members to believe that you can run a technology company without knowing anything about technology.
