COMPREHENSION
1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
One of the modern world’s intriguing sources of mystery has been aeroplanes vanishing in mid-
flight. One of the more famous of these was the disappearance in 1937 of a pioneer woman aviator,
Amelia Earhart. On the second last stage of an attempted round the world flight, she had radioed her
position as she and her navigator searched desperately for their destination, a tiny island in the
Pacific. The plane never arrived at Howland Island. Did it crash and sink after running out of fuel?
It had been a long haul from New Guinea, a twenty hour flight covering some four thousand
kilometres. Did Earhart have enough fuel to set down on some other island on her radioed course?
Or did she end up somewhere else altogether? One fanciful theory had her being captured by the
Japanese in the Marshall Islands and later executed as an American spy; another had her living out
her days under an assumed name as a housewife in New Jersey. Seventy years after Earhart’s
disappearance, ‘myth busters’ continue to search for her. She was the best-known American woman
pilot in the world. People were tracking her flight with great interest when, suddenly, she vanished
into thin air.
Aircraft had developed rapidly in sophistication after World War One, with the 1920s and 1930s
marked by an aeronautical record setting frenzy. Conquest of the air had become a global obsession.
While Earhart was making headlines with her solo flights, other aviators like high-altitude pioneer
Wiley Post and industrialist Howard Hughes were grabbing some glory of their own. But only
Earhart, the reserved tomboy from Kansas who disappeared three weeks shy of her 40th birthday,
still grips the public imagination. Her disappearance has been the subject of at least fifty books,
countless magazine and newspaper articles, and TV documentaries. It is seen by journalists as the
last great American mystery. There are currently two main theories about Amelia Earhart’s fate.
There were reports of distress calls from the Phoenix Islands made on Earhart’s radio frequency for
days after she vanished. Some say the plane could have broadcast only if it were on land, not in the
water. The Coast Guard and later the Navy, believing the distress calls were real, adjusted their
searches, and newspapers at the time reported Earhart and her navigator were marooned on an island.
No-one was able to trace the calls at the time, so whether Earhart was on land in the Phoenix Islands
or there was a hoaxer in the Phoenix Islands using her radio remains a mystery. Others dismiss the
radio calls as bogus and insist Earhart and her navigator ditched in the water. 3 An Earhart researcher,
Elgen Long, claims that Earhart’s airplane ran out of gas within fifty-two miles of the island and is
sitting somewhere in a 6,000-square-mile area, at a depth of 17,000 feet. At that depth, the fuselage
would still be in shiny, pristine condition if ever anyone were able to locate it. It would not even be
covered in a layer of silt. Those who subscribe to this explanation claim that fuel calculations, radio
calls and other considerations all show that the plane plunged into the sea somewhere off Howland
Island. Whatever the explanation, the prospect of finding the remains is unsettling to many. To
recover skeletal remains or personal effects would be a grisly experience and an intrusion. They want
to know where Amelia Earhart is, but that’s as far as they would like to go. As one investigator has
put it, “I’m convinced that the mystery is part of what keeps us interested. In part, we remember her
because she’s our favourite missing person.”

1. Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow: (25 marks)
Mrs. Linde: (Smiles sadly and strokes her hair). It sometimes happens, Nora.
Nora: So you are quite alone. How dreadfully sad that must be. I have three lovely children. You
can't see them just now, for they are out with their nurse. But now you must tell me all about it.
Mrs. Linde: No, no; I want to hear about you.
Nora: No, you must begin. I mustn't be selfish today; today I must only think of your affairs. But
there is one thing I must tell you. Do you know we have just had a great piece of good luck?
Mrs. Linde: No, what is it?
Nora: Just fancy, my husband has been made manager of the Bank!
Mrs. Linde: Your husband? What good luck!
Nora: Yes, tremendous! A barrister's profession is such an uncertain thing, especially if he won't
undertake unsavory cases; and naturally Torvald has never been willing to do that, and I quite
agree with him. You may imagine how pleased we are! He is to take up his work in the Bank at
the New Year, and then he will have a big salary and lots of commissions. For the future we can
live quite differently —we can do just as we like. I feel so relieved and so happy, Christine! It
will be splendid to have heaps of money and not need to have any anxiety, won't it?
Mrs. Linde: Yes, anyhow I think it would be delightful to have what one needs.
Nora: No, not only what one needs, but heaps and heaps of money.
Mrs. Linde: (smiling) Nora, Nora, haven't you learned sense yet? In our schooldays you were a
great spendthrift. (Laughing) Yes, that is what Torvald says now. (Wags

Nora: her finger at her.) But 'Nora, Nora' is not so silly as you think. We have not been in a
position for me to waste money. We have both had to work.
Mrs. Linde: You too?
Nora: Yes; odds and ends, needlework, crotchet-work, embroidery, and that kind of thing.
(dropping her voice) And other things as well. You know Torvald left his office when we were
married. There was not prospect of promotion there' and he had to try and earn more than
before. But during the first year he worked early and late; but he couldn't stand it, and fell
dreadfully ill, and the doctors said it was necessary for him to go south.
Mrs. Linde: You spent a whole year in Italy, didn't you?

1 Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow: 20 marks
Remains by Simon Armitage
On another occasion,
we get sent out
To tackle looters raiding a bank.
And one of them legs it up the road.
Probably armed, possibly not.
Well myself and somebody else and somebody else
Are all of the same mind,
So all three of us open fire
Three of a kind all letting fly, and I swear
I see every round as it rips through his life –
I see broad daylight on the other side.
So, we’ve hit this looter a dozen times
And he’s there on the ground, sort of inside out,
Pain itself, the image of agony.

KCSE Mocks Marking Schemes - 0746-222-000 / 0742-999-000


One of my mates goes by
And tosses his guts back into his body.
Then he’s carted off in the back of a lorry.
End of story, except not really.
His blood-shadow stays on the street, and out on patrol
I walk right over it week after week.
Then I’m home on leave.
But I blink
And he bursts again through the doors of the bank.
Sleep, and he’s probably armed, possibly not.
Dream, and he’s torn apart by a dozen rounds.
And the drink and the drugs won’t flush him out –
He’s here in my head when I close my eyes,
dug in behind enemy lines,
not left for dead in some distant,
sun-stunned, sand-smothered land
or six-feet-under in desert sand,
but near to the knuckle, here and now,
his bloody life in my bloody hands.

UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)
Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.
Ni dhahiri shairi kwamba uharamia umechipuka kama desturi na mfumo wa maisha katika siku za
karibuni.Janga hili limeshamiri hususan pembeni mwa bara la Afrika na kanda ya Afrika
mashariki.Taarifa za Uharamia zimetawala vyombo vya habari. Kiasa cha kwamba haipiti siku bila
kuripotiwa visa vipya vya matendo haya mabovu ambayo yanaweza tu kumithilishwa na
uhayawani.Matukio haya yamewalimbikizia mabaharia na nchi husika, simanzi na masaibu
yasiyoweza kutiwa kwenye mizani.

Yamkini tatizo hili halitokei pasi na kumotishwana kitita kikubwa cha fidia kinachodaiwa na
maharamia hawa. Aghalabu, suala hili lahusishwa pakubwa na azma na ari ya kuendeleza ujambazi
kimataifa sawia na ulipuaji wa bomu mijini Nairobi na Dar es Salaam mnamo Agosti 7.1998 na tukio
la septemba 11, mwaka 2001 kule marekani. Maafa na uharibifu wa mali si hoja, la maana kwa
maharamia ni kutosheleza matakwa yao.Kwa upande mwingine, ukosefu wa tawala wajibika katika
maeneo kunakotokea unyama huu ni thibitisho tosha la mazingira yanayowezesha na kuruhusu
kuchipuka kwa janga hili.

Mchipuko wa baa la uharamia umelenga jamii ya kimataifa ambayo ni mhudumu mkuu wa harakati
za kusitisha majanga makubwa kama vile njaa, umaskini na magonjwa yaliyoshesheni pakubwa
barani.Bila shaka, hili ni suala linalilozalishwa kinyume mbele. Maharamia wanatishia utangamano
wa kimataifa wanapotibua usafiri wa abiria na shehena zinazoelekezwa sehemu tofauti ulimwenguni.

Matumizi ya kidiplomasia na mashauriano hayaelekei kuzalisha matunda katika juhudi za kudhibiti


uharamia. Zaidi ya hayo matumizi ya nguvu yahusishayo mashambulizi pamoja na maharamia
kufunguliwa mashtaka nchini Kenya na Ufaransa,kunaelekea kuzipiga jeki juhudi za uharamia
ulimwenguni. Aidha, utawala wa nchi kunakochipuka uharamia haujajizatiti kuharamisha doa hili
linalotisha ustawi wa kimataifa.

Mathalan, ni jambo lisilopingika inapobainika kuwa uharamia umedumaza biashara ya kimataifa,


inayochangia upungufu na ucheleweshi wa bidhaa muhimu zinazoendeleza ustawi wa
uchumi.Dosari hii inaelekea kukwamiza mojawapo wa malengo ya maendeleo ya milenia
yanayosisitiza uimarishaji na ushirikikiano wa maendeleo na upanuzi wa masoko ulimwenguni. Ni
muhali kwa utalii kustawi kwenye maeneo yaliyo na tishio la usalama, ikakumbukwa bayana
kwamba watalii hawasafiri tu kwa ndege bali hata kwa meli.

Jitahidi za kuweka laini mawasiliano chini ya bahari ili kurahisisha na kupunguza gharama za
mtandao ulimwenguni ni ndoto ambayo haijatimia hadi hivi sasa, kutafutia juhudi za maharamia
katika bahari Hindi. Kwa mujibu wa hali hii, mawasiliano mepesi na nafuu yasitarajiwe hivi
karibuni.Licha ya hayo, shughuli za uvuvi na biashara nyenginezo kwenye kanda ya mwambao
zimetiliwa shaka si haba. Itabidi mikakati na suluhisho la kudumu liweze kupatikana ili vitendo vya
uharamia viweze kusitishwa.

2. UFUPISHO Alama 15
Soma kifungu hiki kisha ukifupishe kwa kujibu maswali yatakayofuata.
Ukitaka kufaulu maishani lazima ujue kuwa una kazi kubwa sana inayokungoja. Baada ya kuikabili
vilivyo kazi hiyo kwa kutumia Nyanja mbalimbali utayaimarisha maisha yako. Karibu kila mtu
aliyestawi amepitia katika vikwazo vingi tena vya kutatiza kuliko vikwazo wanavyovipata vijana wa
kisasa. Vijana wote wanatakiwa sasa wasugue bongo zao sawasawa watende mambo mengi mazuri
kuliko yale wanayoyaona. Wasitosheke na yale yaliyotendwa na wazee. Kila kijana iwapo atakuwa
na moyo kama huo nchi zote zitaendelea kwa kasi.
Kwa kujisaidia katika kujiendeleza, yafuatayo yanafaa kuzingatiwa.Vijana wanatakiwa wawe
watoto wenye kuelewana na wazazi wao ambao watawaelekeza vyema kitabia na wakiwa ni wazazi
waelewa, watapata watoto wao maelekeo na radhi ambayo ni bora kuliko mali.watoto wenyewe
wajue wanataka nini, wawe na malengo katika maisha yao na wakazanie kupata kile wanachokitaka
bila kukata tamaa,watie bidii sana, wapende kusoma bila kulazimishwa kwani kulazimishwa
hakusaidii chochote. Ni sawa na ng’ombe alazimishwaye kwenda kunywa maji lakini akifika mtoni
akatae kunywa maji yale.Mtoto mwenyewe anatakiwa ajitafutie na ajue kuwa hasara ni yake
asipofanya bidii na ajiamshe kifikira.Mtoto huyu asiridhishwe na vitu vidogo vidogo ama kuwa wa
tamaa anayependa kupewa zawadi ama peremende kila saa. Lazima ajue kuwa kupewa au kutopewa
ni mamoja.Wazazi wakiwa na kitu cha kumpa ni sawa, wakiwa hawana pia sawa.Mtoto anatikiwa
kuwa muelewa sana.Anatakiwa awe na ile fikira ya kujitafutia. Hata kama anatoka katika hali ya
utajiri azidi kutafuta ili ikiwezekana atajirike hata Zaidi.Asitegemee cha ndugu kwani huenda akafa
akiwa maskini. Chako ni bora kuliko kikubwa cha mwenzio.
Vijana wanatakiwa kuwa na nidhamu ya kiwango cha juu popote walipo. Wawe ni watu wenye
kujiamini. Wasikate tamaa kwa ajili masomo ni magumu bali wakazane kuyaelewa kwani mwisho,
wataelewa na kufanikiwa.Yafaa waelewa kuwa hakuna kizuri kinachopatikana kwa urahisi, mtaka
cha mvunguni sharti ainame. Lazima wadhurike wakitaka kufarikiwa. Wasiwadharau walimu au
wenzao, wasipoteze wakati wao kusengenya. Wawapuuze wanaowanyanyasa,hata neno moja la
kuwaudhi wanaloambiwa na watoto waovu. Vijana wawe tayari kukosolewa na kuomba msamaha
wa makosa yao. Wewe ni watu wanaowaelewa wenzao na kuwachukulia vizuri, wawaheshimu kwa
vile walivyo.Wasithamini vitu vya anasa sana kama mavazi ya kitajiri wengi wasio na chochote
wanaopuuza mambo ya anasa ndio wanaofaulu sana katika maisha. Wenye tamaa hawafaulu,
hugeuka kuwa wezi na kuishia gerezani.
