PART II EVALUATION OF COMPETENCE (20 MARKS)
SECTION C: READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)
Read this passage about malaria and provide answers to the questions below it.

Malaria is a serious disease found in tropical areas of the world. The word Malaria means
“Bad air”. Until the 1880s, people thought that the disease came from bad air around swamps and
marshes. Scientists now know that parasites organisms that live inside other living things cause the
disease. Most Malaria patients recover. Yet, at least 1 million people, mostly children in Africa, die
from malaria each year.
Most patients start having symptoms between one week and one month after a bite from an
infected mosquito. Symptoms include high fever, chills and headache. The symptoms usually last
for a few days, go away and then come back every two or three days. Other effects of Malaria
include anaemia (too few red blood cells) and an enlarged spleen.
People can use insecticides to kill mosquitoes that carry malaria. Communities can also drain
swamps and ponds where the mosquitoes breed. People can cover their windows with screens and
their beds with nets to keep out mosquitoes. Travellers going to areas where malaria occurs can take
drugs that fight the parasites.
