2022年考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说，刚开始投入复习，就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊，也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的，所以我们会在每次推送中，给大家给出两篇短文，一篇是初阶水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高阶水平（四六级到考研水平）；同学们可以根据自己当前的情况，选择其中一篇进行学习。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
初阶文段
The best model for understanding the growth of CEO pay is that of limited CEO talent in a world where business opportunities for the top firms are growing rapidly. The efforts of America's highest-earning 1% have been one of the more dynamic elements of the global economy. It's not popular to say, but one reason their pay has gone up so much is that CEOs really have upped their game relative to many other workers in the U.S. economy.
短文翻译
最能使人们理解CEO薪资增长的一个说法是,全球范围内顶级公司的商机正在迅速增长,但CEO人才却很有限。美国收入最高的1%的人所做出的努力,已成为全球经济更具活力的要素之一。这种说法并不普遍,但CEO的薪资增幅如此之大的一个原因是,与美国经济中的许多其他员工相比,他们的确提升了自身的能力。

文段 II
Today's CEO, at least for major American firms, must have many more skills than simply being able to "run the company." CEOs must have a good sense of financial markets and maybe even how the company should trade in them. They also need better public relations skills than their predecessors, as the costs of even a minor slipup can be significant. Then there's the fact that large American companies are much more globalized than ever before, with supply chains spread across a larger number of countries.To lead in that system requires knowledge that is fairly mind-boggling. Plus, virtually all major American companies are becoming tech companies, often with their own research and development. And beyond this, major CEOs still have to do all the day-to-day work they have always done.
短文翻译
如今的CEO,至少对美国的大型公司来说,必须具备更多的技能,而不仅仅是能够“经营公司”。CEO必须对金融市场有深刻的认识,甚至可能需要了解公司在金融市场中应如何存活和发展。他们也需要比他们的前辈拥有更好的公关技巧,因为一个小小的失误也可能付出巨大的代价。事实上,随着供应链遍布更多的国家,美国大型公司比以往任何时候都更加全球化。在这样的系统中发挥领导作用需要掌握的知识之多令人难以想象。而且,几乎所有美国的大型公司都在变成科技公司,这些公司通常都有自己的研发中心。除此之外,大部分CEO还必须做他们一直以来都在做的日常工作。
