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 do 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
【S9】
选项
答案L
解析 at…cost表示“以……代价”，cost前多用表示程度的形容词来修饰，[H]unfit、[J]low和[L]considerable入选。[H]unfit“不合适的；不能胜任”不用于修饰cost，故首先排除。由前面提到的。Feeling trapped between the two可知，她们的自信和幸福因此受到的影响很大，而不是很小，也就是说，代价是相当大的，故答案为[C] considerable“相当大的”。
