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.
According to the passage, social anxiety originates from________.

选项 A、the worries about disapproving opinion from others
B、the resistance to accessing training
C、the social avoidance of normal activities
D、the isolation from positive interactions

答案A

解析 由题干关键词social anxiety originates from定位到第五段第一句: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. (社交焦虑可能源于对他人负面判断的恐惧,并可能导致更多的社会隔离或避免参与正常、健康的活动。)题干中的originates from为be rooted in的同义替换,因此答案就在be rooted访之后的部分,选项A中the worries about disapproving opinion from others是原文中fear of negative judgment from others的同义转述,故为答案。B项是根据第五段第二句设置的干扰项,原文说的是使用机器人有可能帮助社交焦虑症患者接受训练,但这并非社交焦虑产生的原因,故排除。C项和D都是第五段第一句的内容,但社会隔离或避免正常的活动都是社交焦虑导致的结果,而非原因,做均排除。
