问题     A study in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking suggests that artificial intelligence holds a promising future in helping people with social anxiety feel more comfortable.
    Researchers asked 100 university students whether they would prefer training with a robot or a human partner in table tennis. Participants were asked to consider the hypothetical scenario of a table tennis training center that offers either a professional human or robotic training partner that has been in practice for 6 months. People with higher social anxiety were more likely to prefer training with the robot than a human trainer and felt more relaxed with a robot trainer.
    Robots with artificial intelligence who can play and train others in sports are a reality: A table tennis robot named FORPHEUS by Omron already can play table tennis with humans. The robot uses high-speed and high-accuracy synchronized sensing to remember and determine the other player’s table tennis level. It observes how the player swings the racket, tracks ball movement, and adjusts its response to the player’s level. FORPHEUS simultaneously detects movements of the ball, player, and racket. There are also badminton-playing robots: Kengoro in Japan and Robomintoner in China.
    In previous research on human-robot interaction, people have been less willing to adopt service or companion robots due to the perception that robots lack emotions. People also become uncomfortable with robots when they are too humanlike. The more robots resemble humans, the more humans feel that the robot is creepy. In contrast, this study suggests that people, particularly those with social anxiety, may be more willing to train in sports with robots than with humans, providing a helpful path forward.
    Social anxiety can be rooted in fear of negative judgment from others and lead to more social isolation or avoidance of normal and healthy activities. The use of AI robots has the potential to help people with social anxiety access training. The use of technology to remove this barrier can be the first step toward more positive and less fearful interactions with others and encouraging a positive feedback loop.
    This study is limited because it focuses on AI robots in the area of table tennis training and also is a questionnaire about a hypothetical situation, even though the actual technology exists. Additional research that examines actual human-robot experiences and their choices and attitudes about this technology will increasingly become important to illuminate the human-robot relationship. One can imagine how AI robots could be integrated into the traditional treatment for social anxiety and how such novel technology can encourage and support activities for health and wellness.
Contrary to previous research, this study suggests that________.
选项 A、people are reluctant to choose robots as their companions
B、robots have been widely applied into anxiety therapy
C、robots with human appearance make people feel creepy
D、people with social anxiety prefer robots as training partners
答案D
解析 根据题干关键词previous research定位到第四段。该段第四句说到“与此相反，这项研究表明，人们，尤其是那些社交焦虑的人，可能更愿意和机器人一起进行运动训练，而不是与人类一起训练”，由此可知，社交焦虑的人更愿意选择机器人作为训练伙伴，故答案为D。第四段第一句提及由于人们认为机器人缺乏情感，便不太愿意选用服务型或伙伴型机器人，这是此前的研究结论，故选项A不符合题干要求，因此排除。文中没有提及机器人应用于焦虑治疗的具体情况，故排除选项B。第二、三句提到，当机器人与人类过于相像时，人们也会对机器人感到不适。机器人越像人类，人们越会感觉它令人毛骨悚然。不过，这属于之前研究的内容，故排除。
