选项 A、risk
B、mercy
C、height
D、expense
答案D
解析 考查上下文语义及介词短语辨析。空格处所在句子的后半部分指出there is less time for games(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 of the television screen is usually at the ______ of leisure的补充和说明。空格处的名词构成的短语是at the…of…at the expense of意为“以…为代价”，符合语境，表示“在电视屏幕前耗费的时间常常是以休闲为代价的”。故D．expense为正确答案。at the risk of意为“冒…的危险”；at the mercy of意为“受…支配”；at the height意为“在…的最盛时，在…的高潮中”，均不符合题意。
