city officials announced plans to carry out a longstanding teen curfew(宵禁)“i want everyone in the city of atlanta，especially our young people，to enjoy the summer months，”mayor kasim reed said in the statement.“at the same time，it is vital that we keep everyone safe.”but mike males，a researcher with the center on juvenile and criminal justice，said，“theres pretty much(几乎)no question that the laws arent effective in either reducing crime or preventing harm to young people.”curfews have been around for a long time.by the mid1990s，the us conference of mayors found 70 percent of nearly 350 cities surveyed had some sort of nighttime curfew.the vast majority of cities considered the curfew effective.males is one of the leading researchers in the effectiveness of teen curfews.in a widely referenced 1998 paper on the effect of curfews in california，males and coauthor dan macallair found curfews“had no obvious effect on youth crime”based on a statistical analysis of cities carrying out the laws.males research is supported by a popular survey of studies on curfews published in 2003 by criminal justice researcher kenneth adams，who also found scant evidence that the laws accomplished what most people believed they did.but a more recent attempt to measure the effectiveness of curfews comes from university of california at berkley economist patrick kline.with curfews，kline said the punishments for curfewbreakers result in a decline in youth crime of up to 10 percent.klines paper has been picked up across the country by curfew advocates，but males said the study has significant shortcomings.for example，kline does not compare cities that have curfews with similar cities without curfews to see whether crime is declining generally.while males and other researchers agree that curfews do not lower youth crime，they also admit their conclusions rest on relatively few studies.【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章讨论了对青少年实行宵禁是否有效。1what may mike males agree with?ateen curfews help reduce

dgood答案c词义猜测题。由本段的supported和also可判断，adams的研究结论和males是一致的。由上文可知，males认为青少年宵禁令对降低青少年犯罪率作用不大，故可推断scant的意思是“不足的”。3according to the text，males findings about teen curfews _awere published in 2003bwere based on limited studiesccame after klinesdreceived wide recognition答案b细节理解题。由最后一段. admit their conclusions rest on relatively few studies可知，males承认自己的研究比较有限。4the text is mainly about _ahow to lower
