《紐約客》、《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》...如何利用外刊文章提升GRE閱讀實力？

 想必很多備考GRE的小伙伴都有過這樣的想法：可不可以不刷題，就能提高閱讀能力呢？答案是，還真有。

想要提高GRE閱讀的硬實力，就需要提升自己的批判性思維以及文本的分析能力，而精讀外刊可以說完美地做到了這兩點，那么哪些外刊適合精讀，如何精讀，外刊哪里找？快跟小新一起往下看吧！

閱讀理解不是死記硬背單詞——相反，大家應(yīng)該學(xué)會在上下文（語境）中理解單詞的含義并學(xué)習(xí)新單詞。強(qiáng)烈推薦大家仔細(xì)閱讀這些文章以提高閱讀理解能力：

• The Economist 經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人（文末可領(lǐng)取）

• The Atlantic 大西洋月刊

• New Yorker 紐約客（文末可領(lǐng)�。�

這些外刊中的大部分文章不僅充滿了高級詞匯，而且在語氣和風(fēng)格上也與 GRE 的文章相似。這些文章來自各個領(lǐng)域，包括商業(yè)、科學(xué)和文學(xué)，選材極為廣泛。

我們先來看一篇來自The Atlantic 大西洋月刊的商科文章節(jié)選：

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.
