三、历年真题解析

真题 2022 年·综合知识

Reading: A software architecture is a representation of a system in which the system is decomposed into a set of components, their relationships, and their properties. The architecture serves as a blueprint for both the system and the project developing it. It defines the work assignments that must be carried out by design and implementation teams.

Question: According to the passage, the software architecture primarily serves as (  ).

A. a programming language specification
B. a blueprint for the system and the project
C. a testing framework
D. a database schema

答案：B

解析：原文明确指出 “The architecture serves as a blueprint for both the system and the project developing it.”（架构作为系统和项目的蓝图）。A 是编程语言规范（无关），C 是测试框架（无关），D 是数据库模式（无关）。

真题 2021 年·综合知识

Reading: Microservices are an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services. Each service is fine-grained and the communication protocols are lightweight. The benefit of decomposing an application into smaller services is that it improves modularity and makes the application easier to understand, develop, and test.

Question: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of microservices?

A. Improved modularity
B. Easier development
C. Better performance
D. Easier testing

答案：C

解析：原文提到的好处包括 “improves modularity”（A）、“easier to understand, develop”（B）、“and test”（D）。没有提到 “better performance”（更好的性能）。注意 “NOT mentioned” 类题目要仔细对照原文。

真题 2023 年·综合知识

Reading: In the context of cloud computing, elasticity refers to the ability to scale computing resources up or down automatically based on demand. This is different from scalability, which is the ability of a system to handle increased load by adding resources. Elasticity is typically a key feature of cloud platforms, enabling cost-effective resource utilization.

Question: The word “elasticity” in the passage is closest in meaning to (  ).

A. the ability to resist change
B. the ability to automatically adjust resources
C. the ability to store large amounts of data
D. the ability to encrypt data

答案：B

解析：原文定义 elasticity 为 “the ability to scale computing resources up or down automatically based on demand”（根据需求自动扩缩计算资源的能力）。B 选项 “automatically adjust resources” 与此含义最接近。

真题 2020 年·综合知识

Reading: Design patterns are typical solutions to commonly occurring problems in software design. They are like pre-made blueprints that you can customize to solve a particular design problem in your code. Each pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a certain context.

Question: According to the passage, design patterns can be described as (  ).

A. specific code implementations
B. reusable solutions to common problems
C. testing methodologies
D. programming languages

答案：B

解析：原文明确指出 “general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem”（通用问题的可复用解决方案）。A 选项"具体代码实现"与原文 “like pre-made blueprints that you can customize”（需要自定义的蓝图）矛盾。

真题 2022 年·综合知识

Reading: The CAP theorem states that a distributed data store cannot simultaneously provide more than two of the following three guarantees: Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance. In practice, since network partitions are unavoidable in distributed systems, the real choice is between consistency and availability.

Question: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the CAP theorem?

A. A distributed system can achieve all three properties simultaneously
B. Network partitions never occur in distributed systems
C. The real trade-off is between consistency and availability
D. Partition tolerance is optional in distributed systems

答案：C

解析：原文指出 “the real choice is between consistency and availability”（实际选择是在一致性和可用性之间权衡）。A 与原文 “cannot simultaneously provide more than two” 矛盾；B 与 “network partitions are unavoidable” 矛盾；D 与原文矛盾。

真题 2019 年·综合知识

Reading: In software engineering, the waterfall model is a sequential design process in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards through the phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, production and maintenance. The waterfall model is often criticized for its rigidity and inability to accommodate changes once a phase is completed.

Question: The main criticism of the waterfall model mentioned in the passage is (  ).

A. it is too expensive
B. it is too rigid and cannot accommodate changes
C. it requires too many developers
D. it is only suitable for small projects

答案：B

解析：原文明确指出 “criticized for its rigidity and inability to accommodate changes once a phase is completed”（因刚性和阶段完成后无法适应变化而受到批评）。B 选项准确概括了这一点。

三、补充考点：高频架构英语词汇

架构设计核心词汇

系统架构常用表达

真题 2023 年·综合知识（英语题）

Reading: Microservices architecture decomposes an application into a collection of loosely coupled services. Each service is fine-grained and the protocols are lightweight. The benefit of decomposing an application into smaller services is that it improves modularity and makes the application easier to understand, develop, and test.

Question: According to the passage, the primary benefit of microservices is (  ).

A. reducing development cost
B. improving modularity and making development easier
C. eliminating the need for testing
D. using heavyweight protocols

答案：B

解析：原文明确指出 “improves modularity and makes the application easier to understand, develop, and test”。关键词 loosely coupled（松耦合）和 fine-grained（细粒度）是微服务的核心特征。
