1 Thick smog in China forced airlines to cancel
flights, as heavy-polluting factories in Beijing were
temporarily shut down to ease the pollution.
Street lamps and outlines of buildings were barely
5 visible in the Chinese capital, as pedestrians donned
face masks to guard against the smoke. The
government advised residents to stay indoors as much
as possible because the pollution was “severe”.
The flight cancellations prevented the passengers
10 from flying during the first week of the country’s
busiest period of travel, due to the Chinese New Year
on February 10. Many passengers were left waiting at
the airport, as information was scarce.
GLOSSARY

Resolução comentada
Fábricas poluidoras de Pequim foram fechadas temporariamente para reduzir a poluição.
O texto diz que as fábricas "were temporarily shut down to ease the pollution". Portanto, pararam por pouco tempo, numa tentativa de reduzir a poluição (smog).
Análise das alternativas
A) Errada: o fechamento foi temporário, não definitivo. B) Errada: inverte a causa e o efeito, porque o smog causou o cancelamento dos voos, e não o contrário. D) Errada: o texto fala em reduzir a poluição, não em efeitos da poluição industrial sobre a população como motivo do fechamento.
Referência: Interpretação de texto em inglês (inferência a partir de 'temporarily shut down to ease the pollution').
