【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了英國的交通運輸業。該行業可分為三個方面:陸地上,海上和空中運輸。運輸行業雇傭了大約230萬人在大約19，6000家公司。經濟價值￡750億,它確保商品、服務,和人可以盡可能有效地移動。倫敦市政府為了保證公共設施的正常運轉投入大量的財力物力。

1.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據下文說的機場和火車站和海口可知，這里在說：該行業可分為三個方面:陸地上,海上和空中運輸，故選G。

2.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據后面的career opportunities,可知，這里的意思應該是：因為行業規模的擴大, 有大量的就業機會。應選D。

3.考查上下文的語境理解能力。前一句是：有一些工作需要輪班工作。后一句是：根據角色,旅行也可能需要在本地,在全國范圍內,或在某些情況下,在國際上。故C項（這可能意味著晚上工作,晚上和周末。）符合要求。

4.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據上文可知，不斷上漲的燃料成本使越來越多的人使用公共交通工具。下文提到：數十億英鎊被投入到改善首都的交通設施。所以選F（這是因為交通建設工作進行所有必要的維護以保證公共交通的安全運行。）前后一致。

5.考查上下文的語境理解能力。在2012年奧運會期間，數十億英鎊被投入到改善首都的交通設施。其中包括“Olympic Javelin”，一個有著12節車廂的火車，使得從國王的十字圣潘克拉斯車站到倫敦市中心僅僅需要7分鐘的時間。故選B前后一致。
