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.
It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that FORPHEUS________.

选项 A、is the only robot that can play in sports
B、is stronger than Kengoro in Japan
C、can also play badminton with humans
D、can analyze the level of its opponent

答案D

解析 根据题干关键词FORPHEUS和Paragraph 3定位到第三段,该段提到了这个机器人陪练的情况。该段第二句提到该机器人使用高速度和高精度同步感应系统记忆并确定其对手的乒乓球水平。故D项正确。第三段第一句冒号后面提到FORPHEUS是会和人类打乒乓球的机器人,并没有提到是唯一一个,且本段提到还有会打羽毛球的机器人,故A项排除。B项说FORPHEUS比日本的Kengoro更强。唯一提到Kengoro的语句就是该段末句,但本句并未将二者进行比较,属于无中生有,故选项B排除。该段只提及。FORPHEUS是会和人类打乒乓球的机器人,至于是否会打羽毛球文中并没有谈及,C项属于过度推断,故排除。
