請依下文回答第 46 題到第 50 題： Japan plans to boost its tumbling birth rate by funding artificial intelligence matchmaking schemes to help residents find love. Last year the number of babies born in Japan fell below 865,000 - a record low. The fast-greying nation has long been searching for ways to reverse one of the world's lowest fertility rates. Boosting the use of AI tech is one of its latest efforts. From next year it will subsidize local governments already running or starting projects that use AI to pair people up. The government plans to allocate local authorities 2 billion yen to boost the birth rate. Many already offer human-run matchmaking services and some have introduced AI systems in the hope they will perform a more sophisticated analysis of the standardized forms where people submit their details. Some of the existing systems are limited to considering criteria such as income and age, only producing a result if there is an exact match. Local media say that the funding is meant to help the government use more expensive, advanced systems that take things like hobbies and values into account. Sachiko Horiguchi, a socio-cultural and medical anthropologist at Japan's Temple University, thinks there are better ways for the government to bump up the birth rate than subsidizing AI matchmaking - such as helping young people earning low wages. She pointed to a recent report which suggests a link between lower income levels and the loss of interest in romantic relationships among young Japanese adults. Japan's population is projected to fall from a peak of 128 million in 2017 to less than 53 million by the end of the century. By helping local governments run AI-powered matchmaking initiatives, it is hoped that the nation's declining birthrate can be reversed.

請試著閱讀文章最後一段的最後一句話：作者提到推動這個 AI 婚配新政策背後的「期望（it is hoped）」是什麼？這個期望預期會對日本「下滑中的出生率（declining birthrate）」帶來什麼方向的改變呢？

文章總結與同義改寫
太棒了，你的判斷非常準確！這道題考查的是對文章結尾「作者結論」的理解。文章最後一句提到：「希望透過補助地方政府推動 AI 婚配計畫，能夠翻轉（reverse）國家下降中的出生率」。選項 (A) 的 "anticipated" 對應原文的 "is hoped"，而 "stop having fewer babies" 則是對 "reversed declining birthrate" 的精準同義改寫，完全符合文意。
