问题     Growing up as an Asian in Britain is much more than a question of facing discrimination and trying to find a decent job -- especially for a girl. She has to keep a delicate,【S1】______between two cultures: her own and the British.
    Seetha Crishna has written a booklet called Girls of Asian Origin in Britain. In it the girls she is most concerned with are those who are【S2】______different because they have gone through the British educational system and have therefore emerged with an【S3】______which is distinct from that of their parents.
    They speak English with regional English accents, they look【S4】______in Western clothes, and they so not necessarily choose to work in a factory. But they are unmistakably Asian and they are still held by their Asian【S5】______roots. At home, Asian girl may find herself conforming to the traditions and values of her parents, while at school she tends to【S6】______the attitudes and appetites of her British contemporaries.
    As a result, Seetha Crishna found girls existing at two levels -- and inclined to【S7】______both. "But unless they can successfully accept both, they will【S8】______constantly from one level to the other, feeling trapped between the two -- at【S9】______cost to their own confidence and happiness."
    For teenage girls, the main【S10】______is to match the social life which their parents expect them to live with that enjoyed by their schoolmates.

[A] cultural          [F] definitely            [K] balance
[B] issue             [G] swing                 [L] considerable
[C] question          [H] unfit                 [M] scarcely
[D] difficulty        [I] identity              [N] develop
[E] refuse            [J] low                   [O] comfortable
【S10】
选项
答案D
解析 根据句子结构，所填词为名词作句子的主语，且可用main来修饰。该句中不定式作句子的表语，说明“使父母期望她们过的社交生活与享受同学间的乐趣相协调”，由上句话中的“at considerable cost”可知这种关系应该是不好处理的，要付出相当大的代价，因此，这应该是这些女孩子们要面对的主要困难和难题，选项中difficulty符合题意。
