【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了英國(guó)的交通運(yùn)輸業(yè)。

1.G考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。該段為全文的總述段落，根據(jù)下文（第二段）具體講到的機(jī)場(chǎng)和火車站和海港可知，此處應(yīng)為：該行業(yè)可分為三個(gè)方面:陸地上,海上和空中運(yùn)輸，該題正確答案為G.

2.D考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。根據(jù)下一句中的career opportunities可知，該句應(yīng)為：因?yàn)樾袠I(yè)規(guī)模的擴(kuò)大, 有大量的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。故該題正確答案為D.

3.C考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。根據(jù)該段中心句（本段第一句）有一些工作需要輪班工作。且該空后一句是：根據(jù)其作用,交通運(yùn)輸也可能需要在本地,在全國(guó)范圍內(nèi),或在某些情況下,是在國(guó)際上。故該空應(yīng)填C（這可能意味著晚上工作,晚上和周末）。

4.F考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。根據(jù)上文可知，不斷上漲的燃料成本使越來(lái)越多的人使用公共交通工具。所以該空應(yīng)選F（這是因?yàn)榻煌ńㄔO(shè)工作進(jìn)行所有必要的維護(hù)以保證公共交通的安全運(yùn)行。）用以陳述上文現(xiàn)象發(fā)生的部分原因。

5.B考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)和行文邏輯。本段講述在2012年奧運(yùn)會(huì)期間，數(shù)十億英鎊被投入到改善首都的交通設(shè)施，并舉出一個(gè)例子。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，該空需用：其中包括“Olympic Javelin”，一個(gè)有著12節(jié)車廂的火車，使得從國(guó)王的十字圣潘克拉斯車站到倫敦市中心僅僅需要7分鐘的時(shí)間。故選B前后一致。
