课时作业(五) UNIT 5　Into the wild 一、阅读理解 A (2022·安徽蚌埠高三年级第一次教学质量检查考试)He had two armed guards protecting him until his death aged 55. He also had two massive tusks(象牙) and, just as important, he had a name. Ahmed the elephant received the special treatment until his death in 1974, under an order from Kenya's then­president Jomo Kenyatta. The name helped give Ahmed and, by extension, the cause of elephant conservation greater recognition. With Ahmed the elephant in mind, Kenya last week launched the Elephant Naming Festival in which people get the chance to adopt an elephant after contributing money toward their chosen animal's conservation. The initiative gives the adoptive parent priority when it comes to choosing the first name of the elephant. The second name will be a Maasai(马赛族) one based on the animal's profile, history, role in the family and physical attributes like the state of its tusks. Launching the program, Najib Balala, a top official at the Ministry for Tourism and Wildlife, said the elephant­naming initiative will bring greater awareness of the need for conservation and promote tourism. Balala said the event will be held each year on Aug.12, observed as World Elephant Day. “We feel that this is a great opportunity for everyone to be part of the sustainability of tourism and wildlife in Kenya for future generation，” Balala said. “Wildlife is a big part of Kenya's heritage and ensuring that future generations enjoy this resource should always remain the most important. The launch of the Magical Kenya Elephant Naming Festival builds on the good work that the Kenya Wildlife Service and other partners have been doing over the years.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。由一头名为Ahmed的受到特殊保护与待遇的大象开头，文章介绍了肯尼亚“大象命名节”的由来、活动内容和目的作用，讲述了这一节日在肯尼亚旅游业发展和野生动物保护中的作用。 1．What has the special treatment to Ahmed brought about?
