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.
The new study shows that people with higher social anxiety________.

选项 A、preferred to collaborate with a human coach
B、felt less stressed with a robot when training
C、were more likely to choose a training center
D、tended to practice table tennis for 6 months

答案B

解析 根据题干关键词people with higher social anxiety定位到第二段末句。and后面提到felt more relaxed with a robot trainer(和机器人教练一起训练更放松),故B项正确。A项“更喜欢和真人教练合作”与原文…were more likely to prefer training with the robot than a human trainer表述相反,故排除。C项、D都是根据文中的信息拼凑而成,文中说的是假定参与者在一个乒乓球训练中心(Participants were asked to consider the hypothetical scenario of a table tennis training center),这里有经过了6个月训练的机器人陪练(robotic training partner that has been in practice for 6 months),因此C、D均与原文不符,故排除。
