【4】B

【解析】

文章大意：美國近期的一項研究表明，人們在不同年齡最擅長的事情也不同，文中詳細介紹了這份研究的一些相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)，并給出了研究人員Syrion Goodman對這份研究結(jié)果的闡述。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)圖中“32 — You can easily learn and remember new faces.”可知32歲時能輕易記住新面孔。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)圖中“43 — You may find it easier to pay full attention to one thing at one time, but you may find it hard to accept failure.”可知43歲時更容易一次專注于一件事，但卻很難接受失敗，A項錯誤，C項正確；根據(jù)圖中“67 — Your vocabulary skills are at their highest.”可知67歲時詞匯技能達到最高水平，B項錯誤；根據(jù)圖中“48 — Now you're best at understanding others feelings and emotions.”可知48歲時理解別人的感受很容易，D項錯誤。故選C。

【3】推理判斷提。根據(jù)第1段中“The following is what they have got from the tests.”可知圖中就是測試的一些結(jié)果，而圖中包含了記憶新名字、記憶細節(jié)、記憶新面孔、注意力測試、理解別人的情緒、學習能力、詞匯技巧七個方面的測試，由此可知至少做了七個測試。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Syrion Goodman的話“That is those who do sports regularly seem to do better in our test than those who don’t.”可知常做運動的人在測試中做得更好，由此可推出做運動可能會在成長過程中幫我們提高一些技能。故選B。
