The Transport Industry In the UK

The transport industry employs around 2.3 million people in the UK across some 196,000 companies.

Some roles require shift work. 3. . Depending on the role, travel may also be required either locally, nationally, or in some cases, internationally.

Traffic and transport construction jobs have not escaped the effects of a global economic downturn.However, rising fuel costs have seen a huge increase in the number of people using public transport. 4.

Traffic and transport construction jobs were important during the 2012 Games. Billions of pounds were invested into improving the capital’s transport facilities. 5. It was a 12-carriage train that linked King’s Cross St.Pancras stations to the heart of London in just seven minutes.

C.This can mean working evenings, nights and possibly weekends.

D.Because of the size of the industry, a number of career opportunities are available.

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。
