网考网参考答案：D
网考网解析：
词汇题。词义辨析题。此选项用来修饰relief，因此必须能与之搭配。relief的含义为“(对单调或紧张的)调剂，消遣”；其次，与前面的recreation(娱乐，消遣)之间由as well as连接，二者为并列关系。visual意为“视觉的，看得见的”，指属于或关于视觉的，是形容词，如：visual pollution视觉污染。visual与relief搭配意为“视觉上的调剂”，此含义与recreation正可成并列关系，同为前面的公园与运动场所所提供之物。由此看出，选项visual符合题意。view意为“景色，视野”，为名词，不管从词义还是词性上讲，都不适合修饰relief，如：He was deeply attracted by the view from the tower. 他被从塔上看到的景色深深地吸引了。visible意为“看得见的”，如：visible spectrum可见光谱。因此，与relief搭配不符题意。audible“听得见的”，此词与visible的区别只是一个指视觉，一个指听觉，如：an audible whisper听得见的低语。因此，也不符题意。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
