　　1.【解析】[C] 语义衔接题。空格所在部分填入一个名词，表示"大众媒体作为许多机构和社会交往的……而影响年轻人的生活"。substitute作名词时意为"代替物，代替者"，常和介词for搭配，本句意为"大众媒体可以代替机构和社会交往"。alternative作名词时意为"可供选择的办法或事物"。preference和介词for搭配，指"对……的偏爱，爱好"，将它放入文中显然不符逻辑。representative一般指人，即被选举或委派代表某人或某团体的人，如representative of the UN/the youth of her generation(联合国代表/一代年轻人的典型代表)。因此[C]项正确。

　　2.【解析】[B] 语义衔接题。从四个选项来看，能够和后面的宾语functions搭配且符合上下文语义的动词只有fulfill，意为"起……作用"，放入文中指"大众媒体在人们生活中起到了各种各样的作用"。accomplish意为"完成，实现，达到"，后面一般接"计划、任务、目的",如accomplish the plan/mission/object等，不和functions搭配。provide与function搭配，指"提供功能"，但根据上文可知，大众媒体对影响年轻人的生活，是"发挥功能作用"，而非"提供功能"。suffice指"足够，足以"，为不及物动词。

　　3.【解析】[D] 惯用衔接题。试题所在句子的后半部分指出there is less time forgames(用于游戏的时间减少了)，这句话是对本题所在句子The time spent in front ofthe television screen is usually at the of leisure的补充和说明。对比四个选项，expense为正确答案。空格处的名词构成的短语是at the …of…。四个选项都符合要求，分别是：at the risk of(冒……的危险);at the mercy of(受……支配);at theheight(在……的最盛时，在……的高潮中);at the expense of(以……为代价)。空格所在句子表示的含义为"在电视屏幕前耗费的时间常常是以休闲为代价的"。

　　4.【解析】[B] 语义衔接题。空格部分是过去分词结构作状语，表示"被屏幕上呈现的东西所……孩子们模仿他们所看到的"。因此空格处填入的分词要和后面的介词by搭配，而且要符合上下文意。attract常和介词by搭配，意为"被……吸引，对……感兴趣"。在文中意为"由于被电视屏幕上的东西吸引"，符合本题所在句子的句意和语法要求。absorb常与介词in搭配，表示"注意力集中于，被……吸引";arouse意为"使行动起来，激发";addict动词，意为"使入迷，使成瘾"，和介词to搭配。因此[B]项正确。
