Hong Kong has the largest collection of ①high-rise buildings on Earth，many of which have
been designed by world-famous architects.
HSBC ②Headquarters Building
In 1979 ， the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation(HSBC) launched an
international design competition for its new headquarters.Foster＋Partners，headed by architect
Sir Norman Foster，won the competition with an out-of-the-box idea.With a budget of roughly
$667 million in the day’s currency，the British ③visionary had the modular(模块化的) pieces
constructed in the US，Japan and the UK before shipping them to Hong Kong for assembly(组装)．
The Henderson
Zaha Hadid Architects(ZHA) has revealed plans to replace a ④multi-story car park in Hong
Kong’s central business district with a new 623-foot tower.Like so many of ZHA’s visionary
projects ， the office tower ， completed in 2023 ， integrates technology with natural
environments.For instance，there is a sky garden which is an outdoor recreational space with a
running track and a planting network that acts as an effective biological air-purifying filter by
consuming pollutants.
Two International Finance Centre
On a clear day，you can see straight across Hong Kong from the offices in Two International
Finance Centre(2IFC)，completed in 2003.Designed by the late Cesar Pelli，the 1,352-foot tower
was the tallest in the city upon its completion.It transformed the skyline when it opened with its
breathtaking height and tapered(锥形的) shape，symbolizing Hong Kong’s rise.
Bank of China Tower
The 1,205-foot tower，completed in 1990，broke records at the time and became an instant
landmark as the first tower over 985 feet outside North America.A vision of urban energy，
expansion and geometry，the Bank of China Tower(BOC Tower) was designed to resemble abamboo shoot，symbolizing strength，vitality and China’s emergence as a significant player in
international finance.
4．What is special about the HSBC Headquarters Building?
A．It was designed by several architect teams.
B．It was funded by countries across the world.
C．Its style was considered to be the most creative.
D．Its design was a winning work of a competition.

Critics’ Choice: The Year’s Best Novels...
1．The Love Songs of W．E.B.Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers (Harper，$29)
The novel from a celebrated poet，this 800-page work is many things at once: a moving
coming-of-age story，an examination of race，and an exploration of American history.Out of
curiosity about the secrets in her family，Ailey ①uncovers stories that trace back to her Native
American，Scottish，and ②enslaved African-American ancestors.
2．Matrix by Lauren Groff (Knopf，$28)
If Matrix were written by anyone else，it would be a hard sell.But Lauren Groff has
reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this
royal ③castoff as she’s sent away，at 17，to run a poor building，which she eventually changes
into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world.
3．Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (Knopf，$28)A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s “Artificial Friend”，Klara
serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral
boundaries.But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day，now a Nobel Prize
winner，to explore what makes people irreplaceable.
4．Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr (Scribner，$30)
Doerr’s first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years—from 1453 Constantinople to a
22nd-century spaceship escaping from Earth.The book runs 640 pages，but without a wasted
word.As engaging as a great bedtime story and as ④readable as Harry Potter，it’s above all a
celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams.
7．Which book is written by a poet?
A．The Love Songs of W．E.B.Du Bois. B．Matrix.
C．Klara and the Sun. D．Cloud Cuckoo Land.
8.What is the central theme explored in Klara and the Sun?
