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 [br] 【S1】

选项

答案 K

解析根据句子结构，空格处应填入名词，并可以用delicate来修饰。between表示该词为两者间的一种状态，这两者two cultures是指Asian和British，两种文化间的关系应该是“权衡，平衡”，因此只能选balance， keep balance“保持平衡”。
