COMPREHENSION: Read the comprehension below and answer the questions that follow 20 marks Kenyan roads hold two things in equal measure: great promise and great disappointment. They begin with a promise, in this case, the construction. Everyone is excited about the possibilities that the road presents. If it happens to be a new road, commuters will talk about nothing else except how pleasantly things will change for them. Soon, the construction is completed, and people are so excited, some are even tempted to lie on the tarmac! Change does happen, value of property appreciates a hundred fold, businesses and farmers do better and the general outlook of that area changes. Three years down the road however, due to poor workmanship, cracks begin to appear, small ones at first, which become bigger day by day, and finally, they develop into the craters that we Kenyans know too well.


Soon, the construction is completed, and people are so excited, some are even tempted to lie on the tarmac! Change does happen, value of property appreciates a hundred fold, businesses and farmers do better and the general outlook of that area changes. Three years down the road however, due to poor workmanship, cracks begin to appear, small ones at first, which become bigger day by day, and finally, they develop into the craters that we Kenyans know too well. Vehicles are damaged; dust returns with a vengeance and accidents increase, with them, permanent scars and loss of lives. Right in front of our eyes, what held great promise and hope to us, becomes a source of disappointment and anguish. Yet every single day, we ply the roads, going about our business in spite of the difficulties. Relationships behave much the same way. In every relationship, hope and promise are intricately intertwined with the potential for disappointment. And just like with the roads, we don t give our relationships the nourishment they need to withstand the bad times. When it begins to crack, we allow the dust of the disappointment to block our view of the promise that the relationship still holds. Here are some thoughts to consider. First, just like roads, relationships are necessary in spite of their challenges. People come into the relationship with expectations, some realistic, some unrealistic and everything in between them. The background we come from inform those expectations to a great extent, and these are further reinforced by folktales and fantasies of romance, family, wealth and so on. When these expectations are not met, disappointments are bound to occur. Yet like the roads, relationships still hold great promise for happiness, health and wealth. Mark Gungor, the creator of the video, Laugh your Way to a Better Marriage, quotes research that says: Married people are happier, healthier and make more money on average than the singles, the challenges notwithstanding. I am of the opinion that human beings have not yet discovered any other source of companionship, love, friendship and pleasure that is greater than that which is found in relationships. Another thought is the permanent nature of the roads. Every time I visit my home town, am amazed that most of the roads are still there. I can actually direct someone to my home without the fear that the road will have disappeared. Generally, roads have a permanent nature. In the same way, relationships must be approached with a view of staying put, for better or for worse.


Every time I visit my home town, am amazed that most of the roads are still there. I can actually direct someone to my home without the fear that the road will have disappeared. Generally, roads have a permanent nature. In the same way, relationships must be approached with a view of staying put, for better or for worse. This was the major plank in the traditional marriage in Africa, as well as a central tenet of the Christian tradition to which most Kenyans pledge allegiance. Unfortunately, these traditional deals of love, courtship, marriage and family have largely been discarded and without clear guidelines, relationships are likely to be a difficult proposition for anyone. The proliferation and acceptance of come-we-stay arrangements and other forms of noncommittal type of unions is a challenge. This is because the roles that marriage plays in the society -- producing and nurturing of children to maturity, providing companionship and building wealth --www.freekcsepastpapers.com ENGLISH PAPER 1 2 3 215 require a high level of permanency.

Kimera, the grandson of the great Kimera who first told the clan to move to the mango grove said: I am going to climb up again and pick some better fruits. This is no good. Yes, you go, said the other children. If the giant attacks you, we shall come to your help at once. Kimera climbed up, but just as he put out his hand to pick a large mango, the huge giant Nohoho appeared! He was as big as an elephant and the whole body was covered with thick short hair. He had four eyes just under his forehead. His eyelids were like red flames and his eyes kept moving up and down or sideways. When Kimera saw this awful sight, he screamed. The giant hit him a terrible whack on his left cheek. Where are my helpers? Kimera angrily asked himself. Of course, as soon as the other children had heard the whack they forgot to keep the promise to kick the giant. You know what happened then. Nohoho picked up Kimera in one hand and put him in a dirty purse which was tied around his waist. Kimera cried and cried, but the giant thought what a good meal he would be. The giant went home and cooked Kimera and ate him. Each year the ripe fruits fall on the ground, but who touches them? My story ends there. Nede! Nede!

COMPREHENSION 20 MARKS Read the comprehension below and answer the questions that follow People must be careful the kind of personal information they post on sites. It is difficult to imagine life in what seems like a century ago without the internet and the cell phone. Just how did we manage our lives before the age of instant communication at a fraction of the cost of the landline? As a little child in 1960s, I could not visualize what my teenage sons do with technology today. Could I have even dreamt of a cell phone, a device that I could have taken to school with me and been able to chat with my friends wherever I was and whenever I wanted? You know the answer. However, today s heaven of instant communication can easily turn into the hell of deadly sin. I mean quite literally. Instant communication devices and portable entertainment products could of course be addictive to anybody, but such addiction can be particularly destructive to young people in school. They can distract students from homework and house chores. They can also damage ear drums. Think of the ubiquitous iPod which the youth equate to oxygen without which life is unsuitable! I have even seen some grown men behaving like teenagers with iPods! Last year, a person was killed by a vehicle that spun out of control and hit him as he crossed the road somewhere in the United States. The footage showed clearly that the victim could have heard or seen the rogue vehicle had his ears not been plugged up to loud music. While I do not want to sound like a Neanderthal, I nevertheless would like to reflect on the perils of this new gadgetry and technology. The first obvious point is that not all technology is good. Think of the ABomb for example, and you get my point. I disagree with those who argue that it is not technology that is bad, but the users who misapply it. This is how some scientists justify their abdication of social responsibility. Thus we do not have to buy every little silly gadget that market puts out.


I disagree with those who argue that it is not technology that is bad, but the users who misapply it. This is how some scientists justify their abdication of social responsibility. Thus we do not have to buy every little silly gadget that market puts out. Haven t you noticed that the companies always time the release of these gadgets to Christmas, or some other consumer holiday? They surely know how to apply peer pressure and pit children against parents as a marketing tool. Sometimes I wonder whether capitalism can be any more devious! To be sure I cannot gainsay the benefits of new technologies. The computer and the internet are without doubt the greatest inventions of our age. Information and knowledge that was inaccessible just several decades ago is now a click away even in the remotest village in the world. And it is all quite cheap. Access to information and knowledge is being democratized in a way that was unthinkable just a few decades ago. Think about the revolution of the cell phone for the individual communication and business transactions. Landlines are becoming virtually obsolete. It is this revolution that should lift millions out of poverty in the near future. But these advances come with perilous clouds over them. I particularly, I want to focus on social networking sites and the dangers of the instant transmission of information and images. We have known for a long time that the internet is the new Wild West where everything goes. Countries that are afraid of democracy and dissent, like China or Syria, limit, monitor, control, censure or deny access to the internet. They claim they must keep at bay pornography and sexual predators like pedophiles who troll the interment with demonic schemes. These are real problems, but do not think that censorship is the answer. Cyber surveillance by law enforcement and the prosecution of these malignant forces is the only effective and civilized response. Www.freekcsepastpapers.com ENGLISH PAPER 1 2 3 232 But individuals must themselves act responsibly. Ultimately, the pivot of any democracy responsible citizen action. This is where parents, civil society and the media come in. Take Face Book, the wildly popular social networking site, for example. Some of the things I have seen there are downright stupid, dangerous, malevolent or just plain crazy. Teenagers on these sites sometimes communicate with imposters bent on luring the na ve to a dead end. How many times have we seen reports of some sixtyyear-old pervert posing as a teen?


Some of the things I have seen there are downright stupid, dangerous, malevolent or just plain crazy. Teenagers on these sites sometimes communicate with imposters bent on luring the na ve to a dead end. How many times have we seen reports of some sixtyyear-old pervert posing as a teen? Even scarier, how many times have we read about such rendezvous ending in a fatality? There are other less deadly, but very destructive dangers. Prospective employers are increasingly looking into social networking sites for personal information about applicants. Even some colleges are snooping around for information about prospective students. There are reports that some people have been rejected because of the personal information they posted to the sites. Such information has ranged from lurid pictures to abusive language. This means that young folks must be very careful about posting intimate details including personal pictures and other personal data such as birth dates, personal ID numbers and home address on such sites. Such information about yourself can only hurt you if displayed for the entire world to see. Teenagers need to be particularly careful about the new fad of sexting . This is an epidemic in New York among teenagers. Teens and other young people are sending nude pictures of themselves to their friends or lovers. A large number of such pictures have been shared widely beyond the intended audience. In one case, a child whose nude pictures were revealed took her own life. It can cause untold grief. Questions 1.

You ought to have come to town a little earlier, Christine. Certainly Torvald does understand how to make a house dainty and attractive. Mrs. Linde: And so do you, it seems to me; you are not your father s daughter for nothing. But tell me, is Dr. Rank always as depressed as he was yesterday? Nora: No; yesterday it was noticeable. I must tell you that he suffers from a dangerous disease. He has consumption of the spine, poor creature. His father was a horrible man who committed all sorts of excesses; and that is why his son was sickly from childhood, do you understand?

Mrs. Linde: goes on sewing a short silence Does Doctor Rank come here everyday? Nora: Everyday regularly. He is Torvald s most intimate friend and a great friend of mine too. He is just like one of the family. Mrs. Linde: But tell me this-is he perfectly sincere? I mean, isn t he the kind of man that is very anxious to make himself agreeable? Nora: Not in the least. What makes you think that? Mrs. Linde: When you introduced him to me yesterday, he declared he had often heard my name mentioned in this house; but afterwards I noticed that your husband hadn t the slightest idea who I was. So how could Doctor Rank---? Nora: That is quite right, Christine. Torvald is so absurdly fond of me that he wants me absolutely to himself, as he says. At first he used to seem almost jealous if I mentioned any of the dear folk at home; so naturally I gave up doing so. But I often talk about such things with Doctor Rank, because he likes hearing about them.

On one hand was the great news of a second vaccine with a 95 per cent efficacy rate. We also saw leading capitals tighten travel, school ban and other containment measures as the second wave of the pandemic batters many regions. Locally, the situation seems to mirror the global positions, albeit on a less scale, but the numbers of fatalities and infections are rising. We have lost 1,300 compatriots, with 73,000 more having encountered the virus. A casual glance on our neighbourhoods, social media and obituary pages back this, suggesting the official tally might be conservative due to unreported cases. The occasional infection of a public figure reminding usthat we are not out of the woods yet. Medics and scientist continue burning the midnight oil to understand Covid-19 better and its symptoms, or lack of them witnessed in different people.


A casual glance on our neighbourhoods, social media and obituary pages back this, suggesting the official tally might be conservative due to unreported cases. The occasional infection of a public figure reminding usthat we are not out of the woods yet. Medics and scientist continue burning the midnight oil to understand Covid-19 better and its symptoms, or lack of them witnessed in different people. Though clear patterns of symptoms in fever, fatigue, breathing difficulty and loss of taste and smell were identified early, the last few months have seen some patients report a wide range of unexplained signs like longer infection periods and mental challenges such as anxiety, memory problems even depression. Even more intriguing has been the asymptomatic cases and cases of certain people in a family contacting illness while others remain healthy. Add that to the fact that, Africa appears to suffer disproportionately lower rates of infection and mortality, its dilapidated health systems notwithstanding. It is going to take time before someone can explain this incongruent picture. What is clear in the interim is that our world has dramatically changed, perhaps for the better. Traditionally, counties have spent colossal amounts of money building armies to deter global bullies. Now it appears potential threats to humanity must be re-assessed and budgets adjusted. It might be an unknown virus and not a nuclear bomb that will bring the world to its knees. The most secure nations are likely to be those with highly diversified risk registers and commensurate investment to build capacity to confront such. The early travel bans and overflowing hospitals in the developed world was another rebuke to developing nations to priorities health. The fact that some regions have been affected more than others is another sobering lesson. With the 21st century having experienced its fair share of protectionist tendencies and inward-looking policies; the pandemic has highlighted the need for concerted effort to ensure no part of the globe is left behind in modernising is health systems. Who knows, a future pandemic, may see the less affected regions serving as refuge centres and provided manufacturing hubs for drugs. Perhaps it is time o build longer bridges and not towing walls. The pandemic has shown the spotlight on the place and role of global information systems and co-operation among nations. The future will likely be more secure if pandemics and other threats are reported early and containment measures quickly activated Covid-19 has painfully reminded us of the dividend of tackling a problem early and at source, before it grows wings. Questions a Why are the efforts to battle the virus bitter-sweet?

Mwene Nyaga saw Gikuyu s hesitation. He took him to his residence on top of the mountain of mystery, kirinyanga where He resided. From here, he commanded a good view of all his lands. He therefore, wanted Gikuyu to see for himself all the land he had been given. He showed him all the land and its beauty. He said, My son, all this is yours. . Then He sat back and watched Gikuyu s happiness as he moved from place to place, trying to locate the boundaries to his land. But no matter how hard he looked, his land seemed to roll for miles and miles. Having inspected the panorama of his land, he quickly composed himself and ran to Mwene Nyaga s feet and cried with happiness thanking Him for the great gift. He was sure that he would be happy ever after. But then, he felt a kindof loneliness and his happiness subsided. What would he do with all that land all by himself? Mwene Nyaga knew what was going on in Gikuyu s mind. As he was leaving, Mene Nyaga called him back and pointed to him a spot far, far off in the middle of the country, where a it tree, Mukuyu, grew. He ordered Gikiyu to settle there and call this place; Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga . Whenever Gikuyuj was in need of Mwene Nyaga s help in whatever way, he should offer sacrifice to Him at the fig tree. He should raise his hands towards Kiringaga, Mwene Nyaga s residence, and state all his problems. Mwene Nyaga will definitely see him and come to his rescue. He also told him that he had given him a present, the most precious present in his life and that he would get he presents on his arrival home, his new home. Gikuyu thanked Mwene Nyaga and being unable to contain is curiosity any longer, he hurried straight to Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga. To his surprise, seatedthere was a young beautiful woman whom he called Mumbi Moulder or creator .


He also told him that he had given him a present, the most precious present in his life and that he would get he presents on his arrival home, his new home. Gikuyu thanked Mwene Nyaga and being unable to contain is curiosity any longer, he hurried straight to Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga. To his surprise, seatedthere was a young beautiful woman whom he called Mumbi Moulder or creator . They lived together as man and his wife and were blessed with nine daughters but no sons. The daughters were: Wachera, Wanjiku, Wairimu, Wambui, Wangari, Wanjiru, Wangui, Mwithaga and Waithera. Gikuyu needed an heir and his not having a son disturbed him. He then remembered Mwene Nyaga s advice, I ll come to your rescue . He organized a sacrifice at the Mukuyu tree. He slaughtered a ram and a kid from his flock and poured their blood and fat on the trunk of a sacred tree. He went to his house and called Mumbe and their daughters. They roosted some meat and offered it to Mene Nyaga. They raised their hands towards Kiringaga and prayed, Thaai thathaiya Ngai thaai He later left and went home. Mwene Nyaga quickly answered Gikuyu s prayers. On the following morning Gikuyu went to the sacred tree and he couldn t believe his eyes when he found seated near the tree, nine strong young men. He was overcome with joy and he looked up to the mountain and thanked Mwene Nyaga, his benefactor. He welcomed the nine young men and he took them to his home where he introduced them to his wife and daughters. Food was cooked for them and a after bathing and eating they went to sleep. The next morning, the nine men woke up early in the morning havinghad a good night s sleep. After the morning meal, Gikuyu called them outside to discuss marriage. He told them they would marry his daughters on one condition: they had to live with them in his land. By this time, the men had already made their choices. They were so fascinated by the daughter s beauty and the father s kindness that they agreed to his proposal. Gikuyu and Mumbi were overjoyed for they now had sons to inherit their vast lands.


By this time, the men had already made their choices. They were so fascinated by the daughter s beauty and the father s kindness that they agreed to his proposal. Gikuyu and Mumbi were overjoyed for they now had sons to inherit their vast lands. The daughters, on the other hand had already started to show their preference of the men. They were also happy when the men agreed to their father s wish for, they knew they now had men to protect them and give them company. Gikuyu did not wait long before making arrangements for his daughters wedding according to the Gikuyu customary laws. He did not ask for bride wealth from the young men for he knew they did not have any and in actual fact they were a blessing to him. They were, however, united der one name Mbari ya Mumbi which means Mumbi s family group. This was in honour of their mother Mumbi. Gikuyu and Mumbi were the heads of Mbari ya Mumbi and the nine families remined under them. They are the mother and father of the Gikuyu people. As the years passed, Gikuyu and Mumbi become older and older and eventually the died. Before they died, Gikuyu called all his daughters and their husbands. He told them, My children, as you can see, your mother and I are about to leave you but before we go, we would like to leave you wit these words. All the land and whatever else we possess is yours. Divide if equally among yourselves. Remember that on finger cannot kill a louse With these words, Kikuyu and Mumbi breathed their last breath.

They become so many that it was impossible for the families to live together anymore. They called a meeting where they resolved that each family should call together all its children and grandchildren and live together as one clan Muhiriga . The clans were to be called after the nine daughters of Gikuyu and Mumbi. This decision is the basis of the nine principal Gikuyu clans.

PASSAGE Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follows 20mks I hate to tell you this, but your kid is spoiled. Mine are not much better. That, in essence, is the finding of a recent media poll. Most of us think most of our kids are overindulged, materialistic brats.


Mine are not much better. That, in essence, is the finding of a recent media poll. Most of us think most of our kids are overindulged, materialistic brats. I bring this issue to talk about controversial study that deals corporal punishment spanking and it has outraged those who oppose the practice while rearming those who support it. Dr. Dianna Baumrind studied 164 families from the time their children were in pre- school until they reached their 20s. She found that most families used some form of corporal punishment. She further found that, contrary to what we have been told for years, giving a child a mild spanking defined as open - handed swats on the back side, arm or leg does not leave the child scarred for life. Baumrid makes a distinction between the minor punishment practiced by most parents who spank and the harsher variants practiced by a tiny minority shaking and blows to the heal or face, for example For my money, there was always something spurious about the orthodoxy that assured us all corporal punishment, regardless of severity, was de facto abuse. Nevertheless, we brought into it with the result being that parents who admitted to spanking were treated as primitive dolts and heaped with scorn. They were encouraged to negotiate with misbehaving children in order to nurture their self esteem But the orthodoxy was wrong on several fronts. In the first place, it is plainly ridiculous to equate a child who has been swatted on the butt with one who has been stomped. Scalded or punched. In the second, the argument that reasonable corporal punishment leads inevitable to mental instability always seemed insupportable and has just been proved by Baumrind s study. Don t get me wrong, contrary to what is proponents sometimes claim, corporal punishment is most a panacea for misbehaving. Rearing a child requires not just discipline, but also humor love and some luck. I have seen too many children behave with a sense of entitlement to believe it is. Heard too many teachers tell horror stories of dealing with kids from households where parents are not sovereign, adult authority not respected. So the pertinent question is not: to spank or not to spank? Rather, it is who s in charge here? Some folks think its abuse when you swat a child s back side.

ORAL NARRATIVE Read the following narrative and answer the question that follow A man had two daughters from different wives. One of his daughters was motherless, her mother died when she was still a baby. The mother of the other girl did not like the motherless girl. She did not like her because her daughter loved her step sister more than she loved her. The woman therefore thought out some ways of eliminating her. One day the woman made an arrangement with hyena. The hyena was to go and wait for the two girls somewhere in the bush. To the motherless girl she would tie a band like a bangle on the left armwww.freekcsepastpapers.com ENGLISH PAPER 1 2 3 272 and to her daughter she would tie one of the right arm. Then she told the hyena to catch, kill and eat the girl with the band on the left hand. After the hyena had gone to wait, she called the two girls, tied the bands accordingly and sent both of them to go and visits their aunts. She directed them to follow the path where she had asked the hyena to await for them. On the way the woman s daughter suggested that they should exchange the bangles. Why should my mother tie your bangle on the left arm, when everybody else wears theirs on the right arm? She complained and took her bangle and put it on her left arm. They went on with their journey. They had gone half - way through the journey when the hyena came and caught the woman s own daughter and ate her up. The motherless girl was terrified and grew hysterical. She cried endlessly. Her grief was so great that she refused to go away from the scene of her sister s tragic death. She wishes to die too; to be eaten up by the hyena which had eaten her dear friend and sister. She cried, wailed, wept and grieved for her dear sister, so much if sorrow expressed by the living would bring back the dead, Awino s sister Nyawino would have returned to life. After the kill, the hyena had gone away but Awino would not leave. She stayed on the spot wailing.


She cried, wailed, wept and grieved for her dear sister, so much if sorrow expressed by the living would bring back the dead, Awino s sister Nyawino would have returned to life. After the kill, the hyena had gone away but Awino would not leave. She stayed on the spot wailing. Aai, what are you doing here alone in the bush? Some travelers asked her. We were two, and we were going to visit our aunt but my sister has been eaten up by a hyena, she replied amid sobs. Then what are you doing here alone? Go home and take the sad news of her death to your parents, the people advised her. No I also want to be eaten up by the same hyena, she cried. The travelers saw her futile determination. They would not live her there and in any case they were convinced that the parents should know. No, you go home and take the news of the death of the sister home. The people advised her more persuasively until she accepted to go home. She arrived home, tired and wet with tears and sweat. She explained to her father what has happened. He became furious and called his wife to explain. But she was full of grief that she could not talk. The elders were then called. It was agreed unanimously that the woman must be banished from the village because of her jealousy and wickedness. She left the village crying with regret and shame.

She puts on her Sunday dress. Her true identity is not as religious as she wants the visitors to believe. She only does this to impress. 5. Ayo has been pretending to be dutiful and submissive wife to Ajayi for 12 years. Her real intention seems to have been to do a wedding as is the admirable thing in her society.

Lack of adequate resources, poor training infrastructure and facilities as well as an emphasis on cramming reproduction of class notes in the exam papers compromise the quality of education. The result has been a yawning gap between the quality of students released into the job market and the needs of the employers. If we are able to turn our institutions of higher learning into factories of talent that is readily marketable locally and to other countries, human capital development would become a key economic driver in our country. The Government needs to partner with all stakeholders and come up with out of the box , holistic policy interventions that make use of best practices in order to promote practical skills and make education more effective in the short and long term. This also calls for accrediting and streamlining the requirements of new and existing education should look beyond profits and priorities equipping of students with knowledge, skills and competencies that enhance their employability both locally and internationally. While Kenya boasts of high literacy levels, it should now priorities the development and implementation of a long term growth strategy that focuses on quality, not quantity.

25 Marks Nora: Yes, you have been awfully kind about that; but you could just as well dismiss some other clerk instead of Krogstad. Helmer: This is simply incredible obstinacy! Because you chose to give him a thoughtless promise that you would speak for him, I am expected to-- Nora: That isn't the reason, Torvald. It is for your own sake. This fellow writes in the most scurrilous newspapers; you have told me so yourself. He can do you an unspeakable amount of harm. I am frightened to death of him-- Helmer: Ah, I understand; it is recollections of the past that scare you. Nora: What do you mean? Helmer: Naturally you are thinking of your father. Nora: Yes--yes, of course. Just recall to your mind what these malicious creatures wrote in the papers about papa, and how horribly they slandered him. I believe they would have procured his dismissal if the Department had not sent you over to inquire into it, and if you had not been so kindly disposed and helpful to him. Helmer: My little Nora, there is an important difference between your father and me. Your father's reputation as a public official was not above suspicion. Mine is, and I hope it will continue to be so, as long as I hold my office. Nora: You never can tell what mischief these men may contrive. We ought to be so well off, so snug and happy here in our peaceful home, and have no cares--you and I and the children, Torvald! That is why I beg you so earnestly-- Helmer: And it is just by interceding for him that you make it impossible for me to keep him. It is already known at the Bank that I mean to dismiss Krogstad. Is it to get about now that the new manager has changed his mind at his wife's bidding-- Nora. And what if it did? Helmer: Of course!--if only this obstinate little person can get her way! Do you suppose I am going to make myself ridiculous before my whole staff, to let people think that I am a man to be swayed by all sorts of outside influence? I should very soon feel the consequences of it, I can tell you! And besides, there is one thing that makes it quite impossible for me to have Krogstad in the Bank as long as I am manager.
