Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles when it hosts the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in November.

From November 3 to 12, the city will restrict the use of private vehicles based on evenand oddnumbered license plates, reducing the use of such vehicles by 35 percent, the municipal (市政府的) traffic committee said on Thursday.

All vehicles transporting construction waste and dangerous chemicals will be banned from the capital's roads during this period, but the restriction will not apply to buses, taxis and other vehicles such as police cars.

The measures are similar to those introduced from July 20 to Sept. 20 in 2008 during the Beijing Olympic Games.

“The number of passengers using public transport will increase by 3 million a day, ” said Li Shaoming, deputy director of the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau.

During the 10 days, 400 additional buses will be used to transport commuters to meet the increased demands.

The municipal government has also drawn up eight plans to reduce industrial pollution during the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation forum.

Zhuang Zhidong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said, “From Nov. 3, production at some companies listed by the government will be suspended for 10 days.”

Work will also be suspended at all construction sites and on demolition projects during this period.

“More importantly, Beijing will work with its neighbors to control emissions，” Zhuang said, adding that there will be regular discussion on air pollution among six governments.

Neighboring authorities in Tianjin Municipality, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will operate strict pollution control measures over the 10 days.

Media reports said that from Nov. 7 to 12, employee departments, institutes and social organizations in Beijing can have a holiday, except for departments dealing with the APEC meeting and city management.

试题分析：

【1】推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，并不是所有在北京的人这几天都有假期，故B项正确；根据第二段中的“From November 3 to 12 ... by 35 percent”可知，是减少使用私家车，不是禁止使用，故A项错误；根据第三段中的“but the restriction will not ... police cars”可知，C项不正确；根据倒数第二段内容可知，北京附近的一些省份也将采取措施治理污染，但是没提到采取的是相同的措施，故D项不正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Beijing plans to keep a tight rule on pollution by cutting emissions caused by industrial production and vehicles”可知，限制汽车的使用是为了减少它们所产生的污染。故A项正确。

【3】词义猜测题。根据画线词前后的信息可知，因为要治理污染，所以一些被政府列出来的公司的生产将被延期，即A项正确。

【4】文章出处题。文章在开头就点明了主题，即北京出台条例来治理污染，然后进行了详细的说明，这符合新闻报道的写法，故本文可能来自报纸。
