内容简介
很多同学都知道，应付考研英语，除了背单词、做真题以外，扩大阅读量是个很好的办法。和所有的英语考试一样，考研英语中阅读题的分值最大。而通过阅读英语文章来复习，除了可以提高阅读能力外，还可以更高效地记忆单词、培养语感、提高写作能力，从而从整体上提高你的英语水平。
扩大阅读量十分重要，而对阅读材料的选择也不容忽视。如果对历年考研真题阅读理解文章的来源进行整理，你会发现，其来源是有规律可循的。有关统计结果表明，考研英语阅读文章有80％以上出自TheEconomisl《经济学家》、Newsweek《新闻周刊》、TIME《时代周刊》等原版英文报刊杂志；这些文章都是五年内发表的，具有一定的时效性。
这一规律对于复习考研至关重要。与其将大把时间浪费在其他类型的阅读上，为什么不直接从考研阅读的题源中进行发掘呢?无论是难度、篇幅还是文章的风格、选材，还有什么阅读材料比考题的题源更接近考题本身的呢?
