阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Wild, Wild West

　　Western States See Largest Increase in Murder, Rape Rates

By Bryan Robinson

　　NEWS. com

　　Dec. 16 - Violent crime overall is down nationwide but rising in the West, and experts believe a number of factors - a growing youth population, inmates being released from prison, and a decline in the economy - could be fueling (causing) the increase in that region.

　　The FBI reported today that its preliminary (初步的) statistics (统计数字) showed that crime in the first six months of 2002 nationwide was up 1.3 percent from the same period last year. The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program found that crime dropped slightly (a little) in the Northeast and Midwest - 2.1 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively - but rose in the South and especially the West.

　　Overall crime rose 5.9 percent in the West, the FBI said. Crime was up in all Western states: Preliminary statistics showed that violent crime had risen 2.2 percent, with a 7.6 percent increase in murder.

　　To find out why certain communities have higher crime rates than others, Green said, officials have to look at their demographics (人口统计状况), which drugs are infiltrating (渗透) the area and which kind of crimes are on the rise.

　　In additon, experts said, the FBI's statistics do not mean that crime in an entire state may be on the rise. There may be certain “hot spots” for crime that are raising the crime rates.

　　“In Los Angeles, there are certain areas where the unemployment rate is 15 percent, compared to 6 percent of the rest of the country. You have idle (having nothing to do) young males - they're not going anywhere, they have nothing to do, nothing to lose,” said Mike Rustigan, professor of criminology at San Francisco State University.

　　“Idle, nothing to lose, and they have access to (have right to ) guns - that's a bad combination…You have a lot of gang (group) activity and payback - types of shootings.”

　　However, Rustigan stressed (emphasize) there is no one cause for rising crime rates. Every state, every city is different.

[　　]

A．Crime rates of the USA have risen by 1.3 percent this year.

B．In “hot spots” crime rates tends to be low.

C．More professors are doing research on “hot spots” than on other problems.

D．“Hot spots” attract more people.

3．What can, we infer from the passage?

[　　]

A．Professors have found out the way to solve the problem of rising crime rates.

B．What causes crime rates to rise in Los Angeles is the same as in New York.

C．Crimes are out of control now in the USA.

D．The FBI has been doing research on violent crime for several years.
