From the center of downtown Tucson the ground slopes gently away to Main Street, drops a few feet, and then rolls to the banks of the Santa Cruz River. Here lies the section of the city known as EL Hoyo. Why it is called EL Hoyo is not very clear. In no sense is it a hole, as its name would imply; it is simply the river’s immediate valley. Its inhabitants are Chicanos who raise hell(喧闹)on Saturday night and listen to Padre Estanislao(去教堂做礼拜)on Sunday morning.
While the term Chicano is the short way of saying Mexicano, it is not restricted to the paisanos (country people) who came from old Mexico with the territory or the last famine to work for the railroad, labor, sing and go on relief. Chicano is the easy way of referring to everybody. Pablo Gutierrez married the Chinese grocer’s daughter and now runs a meat department; his sons are Chicanos. So are the sons of Killer Jones who threw a fight in Harlem and fled to EL Hoyo to marry Christina Mendez. And so are all of them. However, it is doubtful that all these spiritual sons of Mexico live in EL Hoyo because of its scenic beauty— it is everything but beautiful. Its houses are simple affairs of unplastered adobe(土坯), wood, and abandoned car parts. Its narrow streets are mostly clearings that have, in time, acquired names. Except for some tall trees which nobody has ever cared to identify, nurse, or destroy, the main things known to grow in the general area are weeds, garbage piles, dark-eyed chavalos (slang for boys or young men), and dogs. And it is doubtful that the chicanos live in EL Hoyo because it is safe—many times the Santa Cruz has risen and inundated(淹没)the area.
The passage suggests that the Chicanos who "raise hell" on Saturday night and go to church the next morning ______.
选项
A、are very religious
B、are just trying to have a good time on the weekends
C、come to church under the influence of alcohol
D、have both a fun-loving and a serious side to their personality
答案
D
解析
“raise hell(喧闹)”说明他们性格中有“fun-loving”的成分,而“go to church”则说明他们“have a serious side to their personalities”。
