1. SECTION A
TASK 1: LISTENING AND SPEAKING (10MARKS)
1. The teacher will read for you a story. Answer the questions
A long time ago, when the land was very productive and herds of animals
roamed the jungle there was a man called Wafula. He was an expert
trapper. He was known all over the land for his power and precision of his
traps. Whenever he set a trap, people expected an animal to be caught in it.
Indeed, every time he went out to inspect his traps, the villagers would gather
in the woods to await his return. They were never disappointed. Wafula sold
the meat he caught in his traps and became very rich and prosperous.
However, Wafula was never happy because he felt he could do much better.
He was never satisfied with anything unless it was absolutely accurate and
correct. His neighbors wondered what they would do to him and his incessant
yearning to set the best traps. “There is no beauty in life without a
shortcoming", the neighbors told Wafula to remind him of the ancient proverb
Unfortunately, they found it difficult to talk to Wafula since he lived a solitary
life. He hardly talked to anyone unless it was completely necessary. He did
not seem to enjoy the company of anyone not even that of the closest family
members. He always went into the depths of the forest alone He never cared
to teach anyone his great trapping skills.

Whenever he went out to hunt alone, the elders would say, “The lone traveler
is announced by vultures," or “Those who travel in pairs alert each other the
way your hair alerts you to the presence of a leopard." One day, however,
Wafula set what he considered to be a perfect trap by putting all his skills into
it. As he was putting the final touches to the trap, it suddenly snapper and shut
with his whole body except his head. His head was left protruding awkwardly
out of the trap s entrance Poor Wafula cried, shouted and called for help,
since he was alone deep in the forest, it took long before anyone noticed that
something was amiss with the trapper, true to the wise men’s words ... “The
lone traveler is announced by vultures".

2. Read the following story and then answer the questions that follow.
Mother had always warned us against leaving the house without her
knowledge She was not only assertive in everything she said but also followed
every rule to the letter She always insisted that everybody should finish their
homework and any chore given before going out to play with the other
children. We never took her advice seriously until my elder brother. Jack, and I
learnt our lesson the hard way.

One day, mother went to the neighbouring village to see her mother, our
grandmother who was sick Before leaving, the reminded us not to go
anywhere but remain home and do some general cleaning since it was a
weekend. Her facial expression showed she meant every word she said Suon
after, we heard shouts of excited children outside. Jack dashed out at
lightning speed and realized it was zaki, his best friend and two of our cousins.
They started talking but did nut make out anything they said. Later, Jack
came back inside and convinced me to join them on a fishing expedition. I
always trusted my brother to make the right decisions and so I joined them
without asking any questions.
Hurriedly, we locked the house leaving unwashed utensils in the sink and
soaked uniforms in a bucket outside. Before long, we were at River Sio. Many
people believed there were crocodiles there while others said there were evil
spirits which kept haunting people. However, we believed none of those
stories. We started our expedition. Earlier on. Kaki had taught us how to fix a
bait to the fishing rod. We made many attempts before we caught any fish.
Before long, we all had enough fish to roast on the river bank and even some
to carry home.
Jack and Kaki’s creativity never ceased to amaze me. They suggested that
swimming could excite all of us since it was getting hotter. However, I had
never been keen on swimming. I decided to sit back and watch them swim. I
watched them dive into the water one by one and almost changed my
mind. It seemed really enjoyable. Instead. I started making a rope with some
sisal threads I had carried and settled on the green grass next to the river.
Before long I heard an ear-piercing scream coming from them. There was
total confusion. The boys sprinted to the river bank. My two cousins ran away
clutching their clothes while Kaki stood frozen, watching Jack helplessly. Jack
seemed to be struggling with something inside the water Out of the blue,
there came a hunter who dived into the river and cut the sea weed holding
Jack By then he was gasping for breath. If only we had listened to mother...

3. Read the story below and then answer the question that follows. (4marks)
A club is an organization by learners who have a common interest in a

particular activity Usually, a membership fee is paid before registration. Such
clubs include drama, debate, wildlife journalism, scouts, art and design,
environmental, choir, presidential award, health, basketball and football.
On the other hand, a society is a number of learners associated together by a

common interest or purpose. In most schools, the societies include the
Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and Hindus. Both clubs and societies are not
restricted to learning institutions such as primary schools. Activities in clubs and
societies are carried out in school after classes.
It therefore goes without saying that clubs and societies are very important in
schools. Clubs and societies are socialization tools. Learners share their interest
with others thus enabling them to benefit from the relationship. They are also
important to enable the learners to learn outside the classroom setting.
Moreover, joining a club or society is an opportunity for a learners to develop
his or her leadership skills. They also help them visit interesting pi ices and learn
new things Clubs and societies also introduce new career options to learners.
A child may join the journalism club, like it so much that he or she opts to
develop a career as a journalist. Some children ignore clubs and societies in
school because they do not understand their necessity.
When a pupil is choosing a club or society to join, they should have an interest
in it. This will ensure that they enjoy the activities that take place in the club or
society. For instance, a learner who is interested in the environment may
choose to join the environmental club in his or her school. If a learner is unsure
of what
club or society to join, teachers and parents may help him or her in choosing
what to participate in. Activities in clubs and societies have a patron who
supervises the activities that learners carry out in clubs and societies. Because
of the many benefits of joining a club or society, they are for everyone!
In about 250 words, write a summary of the passage above.

A long time ago, in the sleepy village of Amagoro, there lived a man called
Ojamoong. his wife and mother.
Ojamoong had just lost his five children and his father to a clan of hyenas that
occasionally attacked
Amagoro village.
Amagoro village was on top of Buta hills. The village was surrounded by
Emuria forest that was home to dangerous wild animals. At the bottom of
Buta hills was Lake Akipi. Residents of Amagoro village, including Ojamoong,
fished in Lake Akipi.
One morning, cries of war and drumbeats were heard at the village elder's
homestead.
“Hyenas are on their way to our village! Run for dear lives," the village
messenger shouted at the top of his voice.
Ojamoong rose in a panic, put on his sandals and ran outside. He called out
for his mother and his wife. They came out of their huts trembling, fear written
on their faces.
“Follow me," said Ojamoong, in deep voice.
The two women wrapped their lesos around their waists and followed
him. They passed tense villagers running in different directions. Others
locked themselves in their huts.
"Where are we going?" asked Ojamoong s wife.
•Do not panic, my dear wife. Just follow me. This village is no longer safe
for us. We may never return to Amagoro," replied Ojamoong.
“I agree, we are not prisoners of Amagoro village," his wife replied.
The sudden shaking of a nearby bush interrupted them. Ojamoong held his
mother’s and wife’s hands and they ran quickly towards Lake Akipi. They did
not dare to look behind. It took them five minutes to reach the shore of the
lake. They found a canoe and its oars at the shore of the lake. Ojamoong
smiled in relief as he pushed it into the water. The hyenas would not get to
them.
His excitement was, however, cut short by his mother’s abrupt screams.
Ojamoong turned back. What he saw almost paralyzed him with fear. More
than fifty hyenas were charging towards them. In less, than five minutes, they
would be killed by the beasts. Their only savior was the canoe. However, the
canoe could only carry two people at a time. A third person would make it
sink. What should Ojamoong do?

Cars rush by on the streets,
Their smoke turns the air behind grey,

Why do we make our environment unclean?
Bottles and papers lie on the ground,
Every place appears dirty,
Oil spills in our water bodies,
Making the water murky,
Because of lack of care,
The ice caps in the North are melting,
Polar bears are losing their homes,
The climate is changing and animals are dying,

READERS. Choose
one question only.
EITHER
Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow. (10marks)
Once, there was a frog who lived in the middle of a swamp. His entire family
had lived in that swamp for generations but this particular frog decided that
he had had quite enough wetness to last him a lifetime. He decided that he
was going to find a dry place to live instead. The only thing that separated
him from the dry land was a swampy, muddy, swiftly flowing river. But the river
was home to all sorts of slippery, slithering snakes that loved nothing better
than a good plump frog for dinner. So, the frog did not dare try to swim
across.
The snakes hissed and jeered at him, daring him to come closer but he
refused. Occasionally, they would slither closer, jaws open to attack but the
frog always leapt out of the way. But no matter how far upstream he searched
or how far downstream he went, the frog was not able to find a way across
the water. He had felt certain that there would be a bridge or a place where
the banks come together yet all he found was more reeds and water. After a
while, even the snakes stopped teasing him and went off in search of easier
prey.

The frog sighed in frustration and sat to sulk in the rushes. Suddenly, he spotted
two big eyes staring at him from the water. The giant log-shaped animal
opened its mouth and asked him, “What are you doing, frog? Surely there are
enough flies right there for a meal.” The frog croaked in surprise and leapt
away from the crocodile. That creature could swallow him whole in a moment
without thinking about it! Once he was satisfied that he was a safe distance
away, he answered, “I am tired of living in swampy waters and I want to travel
to the other side of the river. But if I swim across, the snakes will eat me."
The crocodile concurred with him and sat thinking a while. ‘Well, if you are
afraid of the snakes, I could give you a ride across," he suggested. “Oh no, I
don't think so," frog answered quickly. “You would eat me on the way over or
go under water so that the snakes could get me!"

OR
Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow.
“Now, why would I let the snakes get you? I think they are a terrible nuisance
with all their hissing and slithering! The river would be much better without them
altogether! Anyway if you are worried that I might eat you, you can ride on my
tail." The frog considered his offer. He wanted to get to dry ground very badly
and there did not seem to be any way across the river. He looked at the
crocodile from his short, squat buggy eyes and wondered about the
crocodiles motives. But if he rode on the tail, the crocodile could not eat him
anyway.
“Okay, it sounds like a good plan to me. Turn around so that I can hop on your
tail." The crocodile flopped his tail into the marshy mud and let the frog climb
on then he waddled out to the river. But he couldn't stick his tail into the water,
the snakes would eat the frog. They clumsily floated downstream far away
until the crocodile said, “Hop onto my back so I can steer straight with my tail.
The frog moved and the journey smoothed out. From where he was sitting, the
frog couldn't see much except the back of the crocodile’s head. “Why don't
you hop up on my head so you can see everything else?” crocodile invited
the frog.
“But I don’t want to see anything,” the frog answered suddenly feeling
nervous. Oh. come on now. It's a beautiful view! Surely you don’t think that I
am going to eat you after we are halfway across. My home is in the marsh.
What would be the point of swimming across the river full of snakes if I didn’t
leave you on the other bank?”

1. A. KUSOMA - UFAHAMU (Alama 15)
Soma ufahamu ufuatao kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata.
Tangu tulipokuwa wadogo, tulipenda sana kucheza. Lengo letu kuu la

michezo hiyo lilikuwa kujifurahisha. Hatukujua faida zingine za michezo. Je,
michezo ina faida gani kwetu? Kuna aina nyingi za michezo katika
jamii.Baadhi ya aina hizo za michezo ni kama vile mpira wa miguu, wa
pete, riadha, mpira wa vikapu na mazoezi mengine ya kupunguza mwili na
kuufanya uwe na afya bora. Mwili wenye afya huwa imara kama chuma
cha pua. Nasi tujuavyo. afya ni bora kuliko mali.
Michezo imeonekana kuwa mizuri katika ubongo. Kwanza kabisa michezo ni

njia ya pekee ya kuufanya ubongo kuchangamka na kufanya kazi vizuri.
Kwa hakika, kila mwanadamu hana budi kutenga muda mfupi wa mazoezi
ili awe na afya bora. Licha ya hayo, michezo ina faida zifuatazo katika
maisha.
Ni wazi kama jua la mtikati kuwa michezo huimarisha afya ya kila mtu.Mja
yeyote akiwa mwanamichezo bila shaka ataimarisha afya ya mwili wake.
Michezo huvifanya viungo vya mwili kuwa na nguvu na pia kuufanya mwili
uweze kukabiliana na magonjwa mbalimbali. Mtu apendaye michezo
hujiepusha na magonjwa kama vile shinikizo la damu na ugonjwa wa moyo.
Faida nyingine ya michezo ni kuwa huwasaidia watu kupata ajira. Baadhi ya

wanamichezo duniani wamefanya michezo hiyo kuwa ajira kwao. Wapo
wachezaji wa michezo kama vile kandanda, riadha na mingineyo ambao
hupata mshahara mnono kutokana na michezo hiyo. Kando na kuwapa
wanamichezo kazi, wapo wafanyakazi wengine wafanyao kazi zinazohusiana
na michezo. Hao ni kama vile madereva wa mabasi ya wachezaji, wapishi
wao, makocha na marefa wa michezo mbalimbali. Kwa ufupi, michezo
huiwezesha nchi kujiendeleza kiuchumi. Wachezaji na wafanyakazi ambao
wametajwa hutumia pesa wapatazo kulipa ushuru na kufanyia miradi ya
maendeleo.
Hatimaye, michezo huimarisha maadili ya wachezaji. Wakati wa michezo,

wachezaji hulazimika kufanya kila jambo kwa umoja na ushirikiano. Michezo
mingi huhitaji ushirikiano wa hali ya juu ili kupata mshindi. Mchezaji
anapojaribu kuwapuuza wenzake, huwa vigumu sana kwa timu hiyo
kunyakua ushindi. Maadili mengine ambayo hukuzwa kupitia michezo ni
heshima. Kila mchezaji hulazimika kuheshimu na kufuata sheria za mchezo
wowote. Yeyote asiyekuwa na heshima hupoteza nafasi ya kushiriki katika
michezo. Ni pendekezo langu kwa kila mmoja kuwa tujitahidi kufanya mazoezi
na kushiriki katika michezo mbalimbali kite wakati.

2. UFUPISHO (Alama 10)
Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata.
Hali ya kutoka mahali pamoja hadi pengine huitwa usafiri. Mawasiliano nayo
ni kutoa ujumbe sehemu moja hadi nyingine. Siku za kale, njia za kusafiri na
kuwasiliana zilikuwa tofauti sana. Watu walipotaka kusafiri ama kusafirisha
mizigo yao, walilazimika kutembea kwa miguu wakiwa wamebeba mizigo
hiyo kichwani, mgongoni au kwenye mabega. Ikiwa watu hao walifaa kufika
mbali, waling’oa nanga asubuhi na mapema ili wafike kwa wakati. Tatizo kuu
la usafiri wa aina hii ni kuwa mtu asingeweza kusafiri usiku. Iwapo jua lingetua
akiwa hajafika. alitafuta mahali pa kulala na kuendelea na safari kesho yake.
Vilevile, watu hao wangeshambuliwa na wanyama wa porini na kufariki
wakiwa safarini.
Njia nyingine ya usafiri ilikuwa ya kutumia wanyama kama vile punda,

fahali na ngamia. Wanyama hawa wangefungiwa mizigo mgongoni na
kuisafirisha hadi kule ilikofaa kupelekwa. Ukilinganisha na usafiri wa
kutembea kwa miguu, yule aliyetumia wanyama hawa angebebwa na
wanyama hao na kwa hivyo asingechoka sana.
Kadhalika, kunao waliotumia mashua kutoa mizigo mahali pamoja hadi

pengine iwapo waliishi palipokuwa na maji. Hii ni kwa sababu ni vigumu
kuuvuka mto ukiwa umeubeba mzigo wowote. Hata waliojua kuogelea
kama samaki walishindwa kuogelea wakiwa wamebeba mzigo. Yeyote
aliyejaribu alizama ndani ya maji na mzigo wake. Pia, haikuwezekana
kusafirisha mzigo wowote kwa kutumia wanyama. Hii ndiyo sababu waliotaka
kusafirisha kitu chochote walifanya hivyo kwa kutumia mashua.
