3. (a)Read the narrative below and answer the questions that follow.
The Fox and the Crow.
One bright morning as the Fox was following his sharp nose through the wood in search of a bite
to eat, he saw a Crow on the limb of a tree overhead. This was by no means the first Crow the Fox
had ever seen. What caught his attention this time and made him stop for a second look, was that
the lucky Crow held a bit of cheese in her beak.
"No need to search any farther," thought sly Master Fox. "Here is a dainty bite for my breakfast."
Up he trotted to the foot of the tree in which the Crow was sitting, and looking up admiringly, he
cried, "Good-morning, beautiful creature!"
The Crow, her head cocked on one side, watched the Fox suspiciously. But she kept her beak
tightly closed on the cheese and did not return his greeting.
"What a charming creature she is!" said the Fox. "How her feathers shine! What a beautiful form
and what splendid wings! Such a wonderful Bird should have a very lovely voice, since everything
else about her is so perfect. Could she sing just one song, I know I should hail her Queen of Birds."
Listening to these flattering words, the Crow forgot all her suspicion, and also her breakfast. She
wanted very much to be called Queen of Birds. So she opened her beak wide to utter her loudest
caw, and down fell the cheese straight into the Fox's open mouth.
134
"Thank you," said Master Fox sweetly, as he walked off. "Though it is cracked, you have a voice
sure enough. But where are your wits?"

Good morning Brenda. How are you fairing on with your studies?

the score I had expected.
Annette: Come on Bree, you are taking your failure too much to heart. I know it is a great
disappointment to score a grade below what you expected in the pre-mocks and I sympathize with
you but you must not allow it to make you so unhappy.
Brenda: (Looking sullen) it is all very well for a lucky lass like you, Annette. You have passed. I
am sure had you failed, you would not have been happy.
136
Annette :( Leaning forward) I know, but you must pull yourself together, and purpose to do well
in the next exam. Remember the old saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again!
Brenda: I think the other version of the saying has more sense to it. “If at first you don’t succeed,
quit, quit, quit at once!
Annette :( Nodding her head disapprovingly) Mmm……………
Brenda: I should just give up Ann...
Annette: Oh nonsense! You’ll never do anything if you don’t persevere. Now why do you think
you failed?
Brenda: Last term was very challenging for me. I was down with Covid-19 for three weeks and
I could not prepare for my exams properly.
Annette: I am sorry about what happened. Nevertheless, that is behind us now. I am sure you will
do well in the mocks and National Exams.
Brenda: I wish I had your willpower. Still, I will take your advice and put more effort.
Annette: That’s the way to go my dear friend.

1. Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow. (20 marks)
Many students think that learning only takes place in class. If students use two extra steps, most
students will not forget what they learned in class. To achieve effective learning, students need to
follow two extra steps in the three strategic learning processes.
139
The key to success is by following these three strategies. Review is essential to student success.
Unless content is reviewed by students shortly after it is learned, it will soon be forgotten. To avoid
forgetting what you learned, it is recommended to review daily.
It is also recommended to reduce large volumes of notes into point form and to paraphrase what
you have learned. Other helpful tips include creating concept maps and diagrams; creating fact,
concept or vocabulary cards and using visualization to better connect to what you learned. These
are all important tools to helping students better understand and memorize lesson content.
The key to achieving academic success cannot be directly correlated to one specific area. Rather
it requires students to be all-rounded in many different aspects. This includes attending class
regularly to keep pace with the lessons. Falling behind in studies or homework can be detrimental
to academic success and can induce stress onto students. Participating in class activities and
discussions are also vital parts of learning and applying concepts learned. On the other hand, taking
good, concise notes will always help in the long run when revising for tests and exams. To sum it
all up, strategic learning is the password for many academic achievements.
Being exposed to knowledge is the first step in the journey, the fact that young scholars can learn
and be a part of history is a phenomenal step in furthering their search to success. Reviewing notes,
in the way the young individual wishes, by him/herself, or with a good friend, will help him/her to
understand what has been learned in a way s/he understands. Lastly practice is a great way to
memorize what has been learned, when practice achieves its full potential, the individual will not
only be guaranteed a good mark, but also a way to view, wonder and think of things. Those three
attributes will help scholars become more successful, but it is important to one as it is to the other,
and every person should find the learning strategies effectual for him/herself and in extremely
exceptional occasions even invent or innovate new strategies.
(a) What does the writer fault in the students thinking according to the first paragraph? (2 marks)

"Mathematics at a summit!" complained the other heads of state. "What next?"
The old rogue knew they were having trouble understanding his equations. Yet did he offer them
any help? No. He wanted to enjoy the moment.
When he had enjoyed it for long enough, he offered the help he had withheld.
"Here is what those equations tell to you, Excellencies. They say you I will toss this coin twice.
"He held high the coin that he was talking about. "If coin land..."He broke off again. "How you say
'pile ou face' in English?
"Heads or tails," obliged President Gamlozi.
"Senks,"acknowledged the old man. "So, if coin land heads for first toss, then first equation - in
first row, first column, of The Choice Matrix-is telling to you: Choose Way Omega for another
toss and forget all about Path Alpha. But if coin land tails, then second equation- in first row,
second column-is saying you: Choose Path Alpha and forget Way Omega instead." The old man
looked at his audience. "Questions?" he asked.
"YES!" shouted Minister Zinto, already up on his feet. "With all due respect, President Bangoura,
I think what you are suggesting now is total nonsense."
"QUOI? WHAT?
"Mr President, real summits don't decide by flipping coins."

3. Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow. (20 marks)
Sympathy by Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opens,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!
143
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings

1. Ufahamu (Alama 15)
Soma makala halafu ujibu maswali yanayofuatia.
Leo Mwalimu Bidii amerauka kama ada yake kwa ajili ya kutekeleza wajibu wake kwa
wanafunzi wake Shuleni Mwera. Anaelewa barabara kwamba mchapuko wa ghafla wa gonjwa la
korona kule Uchina, ulitikisa na kuvuruga dunia nzima katika nyanja zote za maisha ya
binadamu. Miongoni mwa nyanja zilizoathiriwa zaidi ni elimu ambayo huongoza nyanja zingine
za maisha. Awali, taasisi zote za elimu zilifungwa kama hatua muhimu ya kudhibiti msambao wa
uwele huu. Baadaye afueni ilipodhihiri, na ushauri kutolewa na wataalamu wa afya, mataifa
mbalimbali yalibuni taratibu za kurejelewa kwa shughuli za masomo katika taasisi zote. Labda
marejeleo haya hayakuwa na ugumu kama ilivyokuwa namna ya kufidia na kurejelewa kwa
mfumo wa kawaida shuleni. Naam, mwiba uchomeapo ndipo utolewapo na tiba mjarabu ni ile
itokayo kwa mwele mwenyewe. Wizara ya elimu nchini iliratibu mihula upya na kuvuruga
mazoea. Hii ni hatua iliyowasababishia bughudha washikadau wote; sio walimu, wazazi,
wauzaji na wanafunzi. Sijui mizani gani iliyotumiwa kupima, lakini watu wengi walihisi
kwamba ni walimu waliokumbwa na usumbufu mkubwa zaidi.
Iliwabidi walimu wafarague na kuongeza ubunifu wao ili kukamilisha mitaala ya masomo katika
muda mfupi kuliko ule ulioratibiwa na wakuzaji mitaala. Mathalani, vipindi vilianza mapema
kuliko kawaida yake na kuendelea hadi kupita saa kumi jioni na kuzima michezo ya baada ya
madarasa. Mwalimu Bidii hakuwa na budi ila kujitoma ndani ya kinyang’anyiro hiki kwa vile
hakupenda kuachwa nyuma. Hii ndiyo sababu ilimfanya kurauka kila siku. Lakini leo matarajio
yake ya kuwahi kipindi cha saa kumi na mbili alfajiri yanaelekea kuyeyuka na kutokomea mithili
ya theluji inavyoyeyuka na kugeuka kuwa maji yanayateremka kutoka milimani kufaidi walio
mabondeni na kuviacha vileleta vya milima na kiu. Usiku uliopita ilikunya kidindia ungedhani
ilikuwa mashindanoni. Barabara iliyotamani kutiwa sakafu tangu nchi ijinyakulie uhuru hadi
sasa ikanyonya, ikameza na kutapika maji yakaloa kote. Wajuao chuku ya lugha walisema
kilichozaliwa barabarani kilikuwa mama ya tope wala sio tope tu. Tazamo hili lilikejeli ile
pikipiki aina ya ‘Honda’ aliyokuwa ameitumia Mwalimu Bidii kwa miongo miwili u nusu sasa –
pikipiki aliyonunua baada ya kuomba mkopo kutoka kwenye chama cha ushirika cha akiba na
mikopo baada ya miaka mitatu ya ajira. Ilimchukua miaka mitano kulipia mkopo wake.
Ilikuwa dhahiri tangu aiguse barabara hii kwamba alikuwa anajenga nyumba ya karata. Utelezi
wa barabarani uliongezwa na magurudumu yaliyolika meno na kubwagwa chini halikuwa tukio
lililokuwa ng’ambo ya utendekaji kamwe. Mara mojamoja ilimbidi Mwalimu Bidii kusalimu
amri. Si hoja kwamba hakupiga hatua za maana kupunguza kitalifa cha kilomita kumi baina ya
shule na nyumba yake ya kukodisha. Muda huu wote manyunyu ya mvua yalikuwa yanaendelea
kudondoka ni kama yalikuwa na kinyongo na mzalendo huyu aliyejitolea sabili kuhudumia nchi
yake. Alizidi kupambana akihema kama punda aliyebandikwa mzigo uliozidi uwezo wake

akijaribu kuelekeza chombo chake kisiende pewa topeni. Kwa kweli hakuenda popote heri ule
mfano wa simulizi ya Sofokile kumhusu mbingirisha mwamba kuupandisha kwenye mlima
ulioteleza. Ingawa alishindwa kuukwea mlima, angaa angerudi nyuma sio kama mwalimu.
Mwalimu alisakamwa kabisa; mbele na nyuma hakukuendeka!
Mbele yake kidogo alimwona mtu aliyemjua akiwa amevua viatu na kuvishika mikononi ili
alikabili tope barabarani. Huyu alikuwa afisa wa maabara kwenye Zahanati ya Nafuu iliyokuwa
karibu na Shule ya Mwera. Muala Mutia alipambana na hali yake bila kutazama nyuma aone
dhiki alizokuwa anapitia mwalimu. Aliogopa kuchelewa kupokezwa zamu na mwenzake
aliyehudumu usiku huo. Hakupenda nuksani za asubuhi ambazo Kechi angemzulia lau
angechelewa hata kwa dakika chache tu. Kechi alikuwa mbali sana na ungwana na wenzake
kazini waliepuka kumkorofisha kwani hakuna neno ambalo ulimi wake haungelitaja faraghani na
hadharani. Hakuwa na kaba ya ulimi. Kama alikuwa na marafiki, achana na wandani,
hawakujulikana pale zahanatini. Mutia aliambaa shari ili imwambae. Lakini leo ilikuwa muhali
kwani hangeweza kukamilisha umbali wa kilomita tisa kwa miguu katika nusu saa iliyosalia
kabla ya muda wa kupokezwa zamu. Na hakika lisilo budi mja muungwana hupatana nalo wala
hapingani nalo.
Hatua kadhaa mbele yake alimpata yule mchuuzi anayewasambazia maziwa zahanatini
amebwagwa chini na pikipiki yake na mitungi ikafunguka na kurembesha barabara kwa maziwa
yaliyokuwamo. Kiplimo, jamaa aliyestawisha kilimo cha ufugaji katika Kijiji cha Kaplel, leo
ameambulia hasara. Atarejea nyumbani mikono mitupu. Alisakama pale matopeni hadi Mutia
alipomfikia na kuinua pikipiki iliyokuwa imeumbana mguu wake wa kulia asitoke.
“Hawa viongozi wetu wanahujumu maendeleo yetu kabisa! Mbona miaka hii yote barabara hii
haijabandikwa lami?” Kiplimo akamaka baada ya kusimama.
Mutia akamkumbusha, “Lakini si ni nyinyi mna mazoea ya kukubali visenti vichache wakati wa
uchaguzi ili kuwachagua wanafiki hawa? Kisha kuna wengine ambao husema ‘Tunachagua mtu
wetu’, ‘mtu wetu’ ambaye sasa hana mwao kuhusu kero tunazopitia! Na wengine kama yule
jirani yetu upande wa kusini haendi kupiga kura akidai kuwa kura yake moja haiwezi kuleta
tofauti yoyote. Ni janga tumelichuma wakati wa uchaguzi sasa tuvumilie kulila. Wajua tangu
kale, mwiba wa kujidunga huambiwi pole.”
Mwalimu Bidii naye, baada ya kughairi nia, alikuwa ameegesha ‘Honda’ yake kando ya kigingi
cha ua uliozingira shamba la yule mkwasi ambaye wengi hawakumjua ila walimsikia tu, akawa
anamfuata Mutia akitumainia usaidizi wake. Alipowakaribia na kusikia malumbano yao, akatupa
nukuu aliyowahi kuisikia kwa mtu asiyemkumbuka, “Choices have consequences!” Wale wawili
wakaitikia kama ngonjera, “Ni kweli mwalimu!”

2. Ufupisho (Alama 15)
Fupisha kifungu hiki kulingana maagizo yanayotolewa mwishoni mwake.
Katika karne ya kumi na tisa bara la Afrika lilivamiwa na nchi za Ulaya kama vile Uingereza,
Ufaransa, Ujerumani, Ubelgiji, Italia, Ureno na kadhalika na kutwaliwa. Uingiliaji huu
haukuhusu Afrika pekee bali mataifa mengine katika ule ulioitwa ulimwengu usiostaarabika
kama India. Kwa mujibu wa wanahistoria, Uingereza ndilo taifa lililojitwalia idadi kubwa ya
nchi za ulimwengu chini ya mfumo wa kiutawala ulioitwa ukoloni labda kwa sababu kwamba
Uingereza ni taifa lililokuwa limefikia ustawi mkubwa katika Ulaya nzima wakati huo. Bila
shaka huu ulikuwa muktadha uliostahili matumizi ya usemi kuwa mwenye nguvu hupishwa na
mataifa mengine ya Ulaya hayakuwa na budi ila kuipisha Uingereza ijilimbikizie mataifa ya
ulimwengu na kuyaweka chini ya kwapa zake. Jambo lingine lililoiwezesha Uingereza kuyapiku
mataifa mengine ya Ulaya katika kujipakulia koloni ulimwenguni ni kwamba Waingereza
walitakadamu katika uvumbuzi wa vyombo vya usafiri wa majini na kwa hivyo waliweza kuzuru
nchi za ulimwengu kwa wepesi zaidi na katika kipindi kifupi. Licha ya Uingereza kuwa katika
nafasi bora ya kutwaa koloni ulimwenguni, mataifa mengine ya Ulaya hayakusubiri kugawiwa
bali hayo pia yaling’ang’ania kumega sehemu fulani ya koloni. Huu mng’ang’anio ulikuwa
kinyang’anyiro halisi ambacho kilimithilishwa na watu wanaogawana kipande cha mkate au
nyama; kila mmoja akijikatia kadiri ya uwezo wake na makali ya kisu chake.
Uvamizi huu ulidhihirika kupitia utwaliwaji wa mamlaka ya kiutawala katika mataifa

yaliyoathiriwa na kuwekwa chini ya himaya ya taifa husika kutoka Ulaya. Mtindo huu ulikinzana
na tawala asilia za jamii mbalimbali za Kiafrika zilizokuwa na falme zao ambazo
zilisambaratishwa baada ya kuangikwa kwa bendera ya taifa husika kutoka Ulaya. Hakukuwa na
fursa ya kutathmini namna kila jamii katika kila eneo ilivyoendesha serikali yake chini ya
viongozi wao mbalimbali. Usishangae kusikia kwamba Wazungu wengi waliipuuzilia mbali hii
mifumo ya kiutawala au hata kudai kwamba wenyeji hawakuwa na mfumo wowote wa
kujitawala. Uhasama uliokuwepo baina ya jamii tofauti pamoja na upekee wa mila na tamaduni
zao zingine, ni mambo yaliyoangaziwa kwa kurunzi kali zaidi na kupuuza ukweli kwamba
Waafrika walikuwa na mifumo mbalimbali ya kujiongoza.

Bara la Afrika lilikatwakatwa katika vipande mbalimbali na kugawiwa mataifa tofautitofauti ya
Ulaya. Walibuni mipaka kiholela na kuwatenganisha watu wa jamii moja wakajipata kwenye
nchi mbili tofauti. Si ajabu kwamba hata katika visa vya kidhalimu watu wa familia moja
walitenganishwa kwa kuwekwa katika nchi mbili tofauti. Aidha, hata watu wa ukoo mmoja
walitawanywa kimakusudi na kupelekwa katika maeneo mengine ya kijiografia yaliyoitwa nchi.
Kadhalika, hata kuna maboma ambayo yalipigwa mpaka katikati na kumega sehemu moja
kuitupa katika nchi tofauti na nyingine. Na kwa kweli asiyekujua hakudhamini. Watu
walioathirika na tendo hili la kiholela waliona ugumu mkubwa kutii mipaka ya aina hii na kunao
waliokaidi mipaka na kuendelea kutagusana na kutangamana na jamaa zao kokote
walikopelekwa.
Tahakiki za wanahistoria hudai kwamba uvamizi wa Wazungu katika bara la Afrika, kwa
kiwango cha juu zaidi uliletwa na msukumo wa kutaka kunyakua maliasili kochokocho iliyojaa
katika maeneo mengi. Madini kama chuma, makaa, shaba, almasi, dhahabu na mengine mengi
yalijaa tele na viwanda vilivyokuwa vimestawishwa kutokana na Mageuzi ya Kiwanda ya Karne
ya 19 vilihitaji mali ghafi na madini kwa wingi. Afrika illikuwa na hazina ya hiyo mali ghafi na
ilifaa kutwaliwa bila pingamizi. Njia ya pekee ya kujihakikishia kuwepo mfululizo kwa bidhaa
hii ilikuwa kuziweka nchi hizi chini ya himaya za serikali zao za Ulaya. Sina shaka walielewa
msemo kwamba pavumapo palilie nao wageni wavamizi iliwabidi walilie bara lenye maliasili
nyingi sana.
Licha ya majilio ya Wazungu barani Afrika kuangaziwa kwa uhasi, ni kweli kwamba kuna
mambo mengi mazuri ambayo hayangetokea lau hawangalikuja. Ustawishaji wa miundomsingi,
hasa njia, uliwezesha maeneo ya ndani kufikiwa bila bughudha nyingi. Ikumbukwe kwamba njia
ya reli ya Kenya – Uganda, iliyojengwa mwanzoni mwa karne ya ishirini ilirahisisha kufanywa
kwa shughuli katika maeneo ya ndani ya nchi. Kuna taasisi za matibabu, shule na vyuo vya
mafunzo anuai katika taaluma mbalimbali vilivyojengwa na wakoloni. Hata viongozi wa kwanza
baada ya nchi hizi kurejeshewa utawala wao, walisomea kwenye taasisi hizi. Mgala muue na
haki yake mpe kwani ni stahili yake.
