SECTION A: COMPREHESION
Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
As we stand, HIV/Aids pandemic is on the rampage, ravaging the young and old alike. It is time for
people to decide for themselves what is good and what is not. And the earlier they do this is the
better.
The youth, for instance, can rise up with the message of hope and assure everybody that it is
possible for a remnant to remain by just abstaining from premarital sex. And how will they abstain if
everywhere they look images of sex stare at them, beckoning alluringly?
The thing to remember is that it is their responsibility to censor the stuff that gets into their minds
because this will definitely affect the kind of decisions and lifestyles they adopt. Before reading a
pornographic book or magazine, they should pause and ask themselves, “Do I hope to become
better after reading this?” The same consideration should be made before watching certain movies
and listening to offensive music. Guarding one’s mind against trash requires laying down very clear
principles. Discipline is imperative.
For young people, it is important to choose friends wisely. They should determine what they will be
doing when they come together. If a friend is not building them up, or is causing them undue
pressure, they then should shun him or her. This pressure often takes the form of making those who
choose to abstain from pre-marital or illicit sex feel inadequate.
Avoiding idleness is equally important. The wise say that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. The
solution is to get busy with constructive activities be they academic, economic, physical or spiritual.
Trying out new hobbies such as gardening, playing football, swimming, basket weaving, banking and
volunteer work is a step in the right direction.
Parents must also take full responsibility of bringing up their children. They are the first counselors
of their children especially in the formative stages. Unless they do something in good time, they will
cry alone when the disaster of teenage pregnancies, abortion and HIV/Aids happens right under
their own roofs. The onus is upon them to freely discuss issues of sexuality with their children.
Teachers too have a very crucial role to play in the lives of their students. The youth spend a bigger
percentage of their waking moments with their teachers. The teachers not only equip them with
academic knowledge but also with the right attitude and behaviour. And it is good thing that sex
116
education has been introduced in the school curriculum. Studies by AMREF have shown that,
contrary to popular belief, sex education does not promote promiscuity. Rather, it enlightens its
recipients on reproductive health issues.
Moreover, places of worship must pitch in with their contribution. They are in an excellent position
of imparting the correct moral values of their adherents. Besides, they can provide social and
religious activities that will build youth up spiritually and mentally.
Finally, it is incumbent upon the government to put in place legislation governing what citizens,
especially the youth, are exposed to in the form of print or electronic media.
In conclusion, the future generation is keenly watching us to see if we will wreck or salvage the boat
of their survival. Every member of our society has a part to play in enhancing morality. It is only by
doing this that we can hope to check the onslaught of HIV/Aids.

2. Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow. (25 marks)
As she was removing her head veil the next morning, readying for laboratory work that it would have
impeded, he went and slapped her. What made this assault seem "reasonable' was that it happened
during Heritage Week, a period that the leader of Libya had set aside to give his people time to
celebrate their renowned history.
118
Apparently, then, Engineer Tahir slapped Ms Mahmoud to administer discipline on a female
subordinate for shedding her head veil in public, in violation of Libyan culture. In truth, he did it to
take revenge against someone who, he thought, had rejected his advances. Discipline, revenge, or
whatever it in fact was, she did not take it lying down. She struck back. Had she stopped to think of
the chain of events her reaction might set off, she would have restrained herself.
Yet, in the heat of anger, when no one thinks logically, who has not reacted by reflex and hit back on
being hit first"? Who has not so reacted even if, in the light of likely future consequences, turning
the other cheek would have been a better response? Ms Mahmoud hit back by reflex. A letter
opener, obeying her hand, sliced through a semicircle of air and found a soft target. Its tip, sharp on
the day of purchase but sharper and sharper each day from use, caught Engineer Tahir right in his
left eye and slit it open. That was 'the accident.'
A month later, he came out of hospital. His left eye, cut open by a mundane office instrument, was
gone. Turned bitter and vengeful now, Engineer Tahir took Ms Mahmoud to court the day he came
out of hospital. Why, the court enquired of him, had he slapped her in the first place? To stop her
from imitating Americans by shedding the head veil in violation of Libya's culture, he said. Then why,
wondered the court, had she hit back? To defy not him but Libya, he replied.
She pleaded innocent, citing, as her defence, temporary insanity caused by extreme provocation.
The court returned a Hammurabic verdict-an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

3. Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
AN ELEGY
When he was here,
We planned each tomorrow.
With him in mind.
For we saw no parting.
Looming beyond the horizon.
When he was here,
We joked and laughed together.
And no fleeting shadow of a ghost.
Ever crossed out paths.
Day by day we lived.
On this side of the mist.
And there was never a sign.
That his hours were running fast.
When he was gone.
Through glazed eyes we searched.
Beyond the mist and the shadows.
For we couldn’t believe he was nowhere.
We could not believe he was dead.

1. UFAHAMU
Soma habari ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata:

Miaka michache iliyopita, kila aliyekuwa amesoma alikuwa na bahati ya kupata kazi katika
ofisi za humu nchini. Wote waliofika darasa la saba au pengine kidato cha pili na zaidi wale
waliofuzu mtihani wa kidato cha nne, walinyakuliwa juu kwa juu na wizara mbalimbali za
serikali au pengine waliandikwa kazi na makampuni. Kwa vile kila moja wao alipata kazi ya
kuajiriwa, hakuna aliyejishughulisha na kazi za mtu binafsi kama useremala, uashi, ukulima,
uvuvi na kadhalika- kazi kama hizo ziliachiwa wale tu ambao hawakupata fursa ya kuenda
shule.
Siku hizi mambo yamebadilika. Licha ya kuwa na elimu ya darasa la saba au kidato cha pili
na pengine cha nne, hata wale wenye shahada za vyuo vikuu nao pia wamezifungia shahada
hizo mashubakani zikiota ukungu huku wenyewe wakijipurukusha kulima au kufuga; na wale
ambao bado hawajakata shauri kama hili, wako barabarani wakipiga lami.
Wakoloni walifanya kosa moja kubwa sana ambalo tumeligundua tu baada ya kunyakua
uhuru wetu. Kosa lenyewe ni lile la kuwafanya wananchi waliopata elimu wasipende kushika
kazi zinazochafua mikono.Walijua tu kwamba mashamba yao na hata mitambo yao
ingalifilisiwa na ile ya waafrika; kwa hivyo ingaliwabidi hata wao waje wawatumikie wenyeji.
Ndipo walipokata shauri kutowaamsha waliolala ili wasije wakalala wao.
Katika karne hii, wataalamu wameshawishika kuitumia elimu yao kufanya kazi za
mashamba, ujenzi na ufundi wa mitambo. Ijapokuwa baada ya kazi kama hizo mikono huwa
imejaa tope au masizi, pato lake ni kubwa ajabu. Jambo la kuvutia zaidi katika makazi kama
haya ni kwamba mwananchi huwa ni ‘bwana’ mwenyewe, hujitegemea mwenyewe bila
kochokocho.
Kila moja wetu yuaelewa kinaganaga kwamba kazi kama ya ukulima huleta donge kubwa
zaidi ya kazi zote; kwani kila mfanyikazi humwelekea mkulima baada ya kumaliza kazi yake.
Mkulima naye hutoa jasho jingi wakati wa kulima shamba. Baadaye atapekua magugu na visiki
aviweke katika matita ili aviteketeze moto. Baada ya muda kidogo atapanda na angoje hadi
mbengu zake ziaanze kuchipuza. Mara maua huchanua na mazao kujionyesha. Baada ya
kuvuna, kazi yake kubwa huwa ni kuanika na kuanua nafaka zake. Wakati huo, mazao yake
huwa yatanga, mara yuapanga mara yuapangua mipango juu ya uuzaji. Mazao yafikapo
nyumbani, pengine mkulima huipamba nyumba yake na akawaita marafiki zake ili awakirimu
kwa vyakula na vinywaji. Karamu ikiisha hana budi kupambua mapambo yote. Huyoo, aenda
kuuza bidhaa zake; akirudi yuakaa raha mstarehe akila na kuburudika pamoja na familia yake.
Je kuna kazi yenye raha zaidi ya ukulima?
Watu wengi hufikiria maana ya neno ‘kulima' ni kushika jembe tu. Hiyo si kweli kwani
kuna ukulima namna nyingi, kama vile ufugaji wa ng’ombe, mbuzi au kuku. Hata ufugaji wa
samaki au utunzaji wa nyuki pia waweza kuitwa ukulima. Dhamira ya taifa letu changa ni
kuwapatia mwangaza wananchi wake waliomo mashuleni, kwamba wangojewa kwa hamu
wajiunge na wenzao katika kulijenga taifa lenye nguvu, ili katika kujisaidia wenyewe pia
waongeze pishi katika kulipa taifa maongozi mema yasiyokinai kazi zilizokuwa zikiitwa
‘chafu' lakini ambazo ndizo hasa kiini cha maendeleo na kujitegemea.

2. UFUPISHO
Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha jibu maswali yanayofuata kulingana na maagizo.
Inaaminika kuwa majeruhi wengi katika mikasa ya ajali huaga au huathirika vibaya zaidi
kutokana na hali mbaya ya uokoaji.Watu wengi ambao hujitolea kutoa majeruhi baada ya ajali
kama za barabarani, maporomoko ya ardhi au nyumba huwa hawang’amui hata chembe jinsi
ya kukabiliana na uokoaji. Hatima ya juhudi zao ambazo hulenga kutenda mema ni kuathirika
zaidi kwa majeruhi.
Hali ya ukoaji inaweza kurekebishwa kwa kutoa elimu ya huduma ya kwanza kwa umma.
Elimu hii yahitajika na kila Mkenya kwani mikasa ya ajali za barabarani na nyinginezo
inaendelea kutokea kila siku.
Ajali zinazotokea, si ajabu kuona makundi ya waokoaji wakibeba majeruhi hobelahobela bila
kuzingatia madhara wanayoweza kuwaongezea kutokana na ubebaji wao. Kutojua namna ya
kumbeba majeruhi kunaweza kumhatarisha na hata kusababisha kifo.
Kuna mambo mbalimbali ambayo makundi ya waokoaji yanatakiwa kuzingatia wakati yanatoa
huduma ya kuokoa. Kwanza ni muhimu kuchunguza kama kuna hatari yoyote inayoweza
ikatokea na kuwatia majeruhi na waokoaji hatarini zaidi. Makundi ya waokoaji yameweza kwa
kuliingilia eneo la ajali mbumbumbu kama mzungu wa reli.
Hatua ya pili ni kutafuta idadi ya majeruhi. Pana uwezekano wa majeruhi kutupwa mbali na
eneo Ia ajali. Vivyo hivyo, kuna majeruhi ambao huweweseka baada ya ajali na kuanza
kutembea wasijue wanakoelekea. Wengi wao huaanguka karibu na eneo la ajali au wakaenda
mbali.
Hatua ya tatu ni kuchunguza kama majeruhi amezimia, moyo unapiga na jinsi anavyopumua.
Ili kuhakikisha kuwa majeruhi anapumua, mwokoaji atazame kama kifua kinapanda na
kushuka. Halikadhalika, mwokoaji anaweza kusikiliza au kuguza kifua na kuona kama kuna
ishara za kupumua. Iwapo majeruhi anapumua, mwokoaji amweke katika hali ambayo
itaimarisha kupumua kwake. Anaweza akamlaza chali au kumgeuza kwa pamoja na kichwa
chake ili kufungua mkondo wa hewa. Pia mwokoaji ahakikishe hamna chochote kinywani
156 | P a g e
kinachoweza kumsakama. Ikiwa hapumui, mwokoaji anaweza kujaribu kumfanya apumue kwa
kupuliza hewa mdomoni mwake.
Fauka ya hayo, Upulizaji wa hewa utahakikisha kuwa damu inazunguka mwilini vizuri.
Hatua nyingine ni kuchunguza vile amejeruhiwa. Chunguza kama majeraha ni vidonda tu au
kuna kuvunjika kwa mfupa na kubainisha ni mfupa upi. Haya yatamwezesha mwokoaji kujua
jinsi ya kumbeba majeruhi. Pakiwa na kuvunjika kwa mfupa, ni muhimu kutotumia kiungo
kilichovunjika anapobebwa.
Pia kuchunguza vile majeruhi amejeruhiwa, humwezesha mwokoaji kujua huduma ya dharura
atakayotumia. Majeruhi akiwa anavuja damu sana, ni muhimu kuzuia uvujaji huu. Iwapo ni
kidonda kidogo, kinahitaji kufungwa ili kuzuia uambukizaji. Mwokoaji anaweza kutumia kifaa
chochote kilicho karibu kutolea huduma hizi. Kwa mfano, anaweza kupasua nguo ya majeruhi
iii apate kitambaa cha kusaidia kuzuia kuvuja kwa damu au kumfunga kidonda.
Hatua inayofuata ni kumhamisha majeruhi toka eneo la ajali hadi hospitalini. Mwokoaji
anaweza kuwatumia watu wengine kutafuta msaada. Wanaweza kupiga simu wakitumia
nambari za simu za dharura kama zile za polisi, wazimamoto au makundi ya wataalamu wa
shughuli za ukoaji. Nambari hii ya simu huwa 999 popote na huwa haina malipo. Wanaopiga
simu ni vyema kutoa maelezo ya mahali ambapo ajali imetokea, ama ya ajali na huduma za
dharura zinazohitajika pamoja na idadi ya majeruhi. Iwapo makundi haya ya ukoaji yameahidi
kufika, ni bora kuwasubiri.
Ikiwa makundi ya wataalamu wa ukoaji hayakupatikana, ni jukumu Ia mwokoaji kuhakikisha

majeruhi wamehamishwa na kupelekwa hospitalini. Majeruhi wakiwa wengi, ni bora kuanza
na wale waliozimia au wenye matatizo ya kupumua kisha kuwaendea wanaovuja damu sana.
Baadaye mwokoaji awasaidie waliovunjika mifupa huku akimalizia na wenye majeraha
yasiyohatarisha maisha. Ni muhimu kuwabeba majeruhi kwa kutumia machela. Hii hupunguza
kuathirika zaidi kwa majeruhi. Iwapo hamna machela karibu, mwokoaji anaweza kuunda moja
kwa kutumia vipande viwili vya mbao, blanketi, shuka au makoti.
Ujuzi wa huduma ya kwanza ni mojawapo ya mambo muhimu ambayo kila mtu anapaswa
kuwa nayo.

Bustani za jadi
Maua ya kuchezea vipepeo
Na pua kufurahisha
Sasa ni mabaki ya kumbukumbu
Za yaliyojiri hapa
Na kukiacha Kijiji kinywa wazi.
Hapa walimpiga mwereka

Dada yangu; mdogo wangu
Shuleni akitoka
Na mkoba wa kilo nzito za vitabu
Chini akakandamiziwa
Wakachana mbuga na wake ubikira!
Pale kando ya mto

Walimvizia na kumburura shangazi
Binamu zangu wadogo wakiona
Marinda wakamchania
Kabla ya kumtia kidonda shangazi
Naye ami kumchania kovu moyoni!
167 | P a g e
Ni hapa kando ya barabara kuu
Ambapo nyanyangu walimshika mkono
Uchochoroni wakamburuta
Na kumfanya kujutia
Bahati mbaya ya kuishi kwingi
Akaganda uchochoroni
Hadi alipoletwa nyumbani kesho yake
Na wachungaji wa muchungani.
Si hapa walipomshurutisha mama

Chini wakamkanyagia
Kama kuku wa kuchinja
Baada ya yake sidiria kuikata?
Si hapa sebuleni mwetu?
Si hapa sokoni
Nilipopata vazi la stara
La wangu mke mpendwa
Lilikatwa yake mihimili?
Yule kichaa wa mwetu sokoni.

Akawa kichwani amelivaa
Na kuimba wimbo wa maombolezi
Huku wanakijiji wakimpuuza
Na watoto kumcheka?
Ni hapa ambapo usiku ulipoingia

Hawakusita kuhakikisha kuwa
Yule kichaa amewazalia mtoto
Na kujitia kundini kushangaa
Kilichomtuma atake kujifungua!
