【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文阅读，汽车越来越多，交通堵塞无可避免。文章中给出五条避免遇见交通堵塞的有效建议。

1.G 根据本段前句内容可知随着汽车越来越多，交通堵塞变得不可避免。横线前句It’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether.也在强调这一点。但是我们还是可以采取一些措施避免这一起来，接下来几部分五部分中均为避免交通堵塞的建议。所以G项“There are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.”符合上下文串联。

2.F 横线前句Most traffic jams happen on busy roads.告诉我们大部分的交通堵塞都发生在忙碌的街道上。那么我们可以避开这些道路，而走乡间小路。故F项“Using country roads could let you avoid a lot of traffic.”符合上下文串联。

3.E 本段标题“Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins.”告诉我们要使用汽车音响广播来了解信息，那么这样的信息也可以使用在道路信息上，故E项“This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.”符合本段中心思想。

4.A 根据本段第一句Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible.交通堵塞通常发生在上下班高峰期，那么我们可以避开这段时间。故A项“Try traveling at different time.尝试不同的出行时间”与文章中心思想一致。

5.Use public transport alternatives where available. ”可知作者建议我们不用使用私家车，而是尽量乘坐公共交通。C项“The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car.”讲述的正是使用公共交通来避免交通堵塞。符合上下文串联。
