【解析】

文章大意：美国近期的一项研究表明，人们在不同年龄最擅长的事情也不同，文中详细介绍了这份研究的一些相关数据，并给出了研究人员Syrion Goodman对这份研究结果的阐述。

【1】细节理解题。根据图中“32 — You can easily learn and remember new faces.”可知32岁时能轻易记住新面孔。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据图中“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岁时更容易一次专注于一件事，但却很难接受失败，A项错误，C项正确；根据图中“67 — Your vocabulary skills are at their highest.”可知67岁时词汇技能达到最高水平，B项错误；根据图中“48 — Now you're best at understanding others feelings and emotions.”可知48岁时理解别人的感受很容易，D项错误。故选C。

【3】推理判断提。根据第1段中“The following is what they have got from the tests.”可知图中就是测试的一些结果，而图中包含了记忆新名字、记忆细节、记忆新面孔、注意力测试、理解别人的情绪、学习能力、词汇技巧七个方面的测试，由此可知至少做了七个测试。故选D。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段中Syrion Goodman的话“That is those who do sports regularly seem to do better in our test than those who don’t.”可知常做运动的人在测试中做得更好，由此可推出做运动可能会在成长过程中帮我们提高一些技能。故选B。
