【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了英国的交通运输业。

【1】G考查文章结构和行文逻辑。该段为全文的总述段落，根据下文（第二段）具体讲到的机场和火车站和海港可知，此处应为：该行业可分为三个方面:陆地上,海上和空中运输，该题正确答案为G.

【2】D考查文章结构和行文逻辑。根据下一句中的career opportunities可知，该句应为：因为行业规模的扩大, 有大量的就业机会。故该题正确答案为D.

【3】C考查文章结构和行文逻辑。根据该段中心句（本段第一句）有一些工作需要轮班工作。且该空后一句是：根据其作用,交通运输也可能需要在本地,在全国范围内,或在某些情况下,是在国际上。故该空应填C（这可能意味着晚上工作,晚上和周末）。

【4】F考查文章结构和行文逻辑。根据上文可知，不断上涨的燃料成本使越来越多的人使用公共交通工具。所以该空应选F（这是因为交通建设工作进行所有必要的维护以保证公共交通的安全运行。）用以陈述上文现象发生的部分原因。

【5】B考查文章结构和行文逻辑。本段讲述在2012年奥运会期间，数十亿英镑被投入到改善首都的交通设施，并举出一个例子。根据语境可知，该空需用：其中包括“Olympic Javelin”，一个有着12节车厢的火车，使得从国王的十字圣潘克拉斯车站到伦敦市中心仅仅需要7分钟的时间。故选B前后一致。
