9、B；人们是到医生那里去种牛痘，而不是到Jenner医生那里去种牛痘，故排除选项C；“vaccination”而不是“the news”可使人们免于“天花”这一疾病，故排除选项D。通过细节的认定，本题正确答案是A。 （II） Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living spaceThe amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural（文化的）difference，not an economic（经济的）oneKnowing your own psychol

26、大小”；选项D意为“哪些人最聪明”。这三个选项的内容都不是全文的主旨大意，只有选项A才概括了全文的主旨大意，故本题选A正确。第2题属细节辨认题，第五段即本题答案出处。有些人三十几岁时前脑和侧脑萎缩，但有些六、七十岁的人大脑还没萎缩。也就是说，有些人大脑萎缩比其他人早，即选项D正确。第3题属细节辨认题，第二段和短文最后一句即本题答案出处，正确答案是A。第4题属概括主题思想题。选项A意为“我们大多数人应该多锻炼”，并非全文的主题；选项B意为“最好住在城里”，这与大脑萎缩无关；选项D与本文观点恰好相反，故本题选项C正确，“大脑不用就会萎缩”正是本文主题。 （IV） Bill Robinson is
