This is an article from The New Yorker.
This article talks about the way our writings become abstruce, unknowingly. We never tend to make our writings convoluted, but involuntarily they do happen.
A new app has been developed, which promises to weed out redundancy in our writings and the same was put to test on Hemingways writings, which are renowned to be crisp and bold.
Read it and you will definitely be amazed, how, our writings are prone to redundancy.

This is a great article from The New York Times. This article discusses the debate around the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. The sentence structures and the use of thought extenders and derouters in this article is typically GRE Style.

I happened to read an article in The New York Times, about the situation in Syria, where people are starving. The situation is not because of famine. The situation is the ramification of political unrest. It is very touching to read about the plight of innocent people. How can the international community be apathetic to the needs of 800,000 people out there. Read this article and write down what you feel should be done to help the needy people out there.

This is an article from The New York Times.
I just loved some of the sentences in this article and I am sure even you would. This also talks about censorship in social media that is prevelant and it has been well argued. Some of the sentences and examples could be very well useful for you while writing essays.

This is an article from The Newyorker.
I personally feel that this is a very well developed essay. Read this article not for words or and sort of vocabulary enhancement. Read this article to see how the author starts his argument and see how the author introduces his examples and see how the points are developed. I believe, this will help you to improve your writing style.

This article obviously has rich GRE vocab, besides I am recommending this article because it gives you an insight into the minds and thought process of the American Universities.
