Section Ⅲ　Using language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 Ahmed's hands trembled as he pointed out the rusty metal piece to the clearance worker. “My wheat field ... we found five of these last week，” he murmured, watching the expert carefully plant a red flag. Fourteen years of war had turned his family's land into a nightmare, where playing children might step on hidden death. Memories flashed: his cousin's empty sleeve, the burnt olive tree marking where a bomb once slept. Now, foreign aid workers in heavy suits combed his field daily. Their leader Karim, face filled with sweat, showed Ahmed the metal detector's screen. “See this signal? Could be a bullet or an unexploded bomb. That's why we move slowly.” Yesterday's tragedy haunted him. Neighbor Yusuf, desperate to plant potatoes, had touched a suspicious object with a stick. The explosion's echo still rang in Ahmed's ears. “We know the danger，” he told Karim, “but empty stomachs drown warnings.” His children's laughter drew his gaze. Nearby, workers had transformed a cleared area into a schoolyard. Little Leila waved, proudly reciting the new rhyme: “Metal pieces bring harm, tell adults on the farm！” Her brother chased butterflies where detection flags once stood. Amina, a woman from the HALO Trust, an international charity to clear landmines, joined him. Her tools brushed soil gently, like tending a newborn. “Lost my leg here in 2018，” she said, “Now I clear paths so others won't stumble.” Her team had turned twelve death-filled areas into playgrounds this year. As sunset painted cleared fields golden, Ahmed knelt, pressing his palm to earth that might finally grow crops instead of grief. Somewhere, a worker's radio played an old folk song. For the first time in years, its melody sounded like hope. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了战后Ahmed家土地面临危险及人们努力改变现状的故事。 1．What tool do the clearance workers use to detect hidden explosives in Ahmed's field?
