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
【S5】
选项
答案A
解析 根据句子结构，空格处应填入形容词用来修饰roots，句首的but充分表明该句所表达的意义与上句相反，该句中and连接两个并列的句子，“they are unmistakably Asian”说明她们很显然是亚洲人，所以只能填入cultural，Asian cultural roots表示“亚洲文化根源”，意义上正好与上一句相反，由此确定答案。
