1. COMPREHENSION

Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.

Happiness arises largely from the mental qualities of contentment, confidence, serenity and active good-will. It
includes the pain of losing as well as the pleasure of finding. It thrives best in a crowded life. The men and women
who are recorded in history and biography as the most happy were with always somewhat to do than they could
possibly do. Every waking hour of their lives was occupied with ambitious projects, literature, love, politics,
science, friendship, commerce, professions, trades, their religious faith, and a thousand other matters. The secret
of happiness may be found by making each of these interests count to its utmost as part of the fabric of life.

We need to avoid the extremes of sluggish placidity and feverish activity. we are not going to be satisfied with
felicity which resembles that of a stone, unfeeling and unmoving, but will look back from future years with
sorrow and regret if we run to and fro, giving it what Socrates called ‘the itch’.

Happiness obviously includes two sorts of behavior: active and passive. We may say the active consists in
searching and sharing, while the passive part is made up security and possession. Neither part is complete in itself,
nor does neither yield full satisfaction if it is over-emphasized. Philosophers from the ancient Greeks to present
day have been extolling a balanced life as the most happy life, and many unhappy people can, when they face the
issue, trace their discontent to imbalance.

The recipe for happiness cannot be given in any single word, because its many virtues have to be combined in
their proper quantities, at the proper times for proper purposes.

It is legitimate to seek happiness. We cannot help observing that while followers of some schools of thought are
telling us to avoid seeking happiness; they intimate that if we do so we shall be happy.

The search requires a plan. We need to know what sort of happiness we seek, what the ingredients are, what our
strongest wants are, and what we have to start with. We should train ourselves to keep the programme simple,
and free from complications and side trips, to pay attention to little things to deflate quickly after being praised
and to bounce back quickly after disappointment, to seize to create opportunities to put our special abilities to
work, to seek excellence in everything we do, to remain modest and to review and revise periodically.

Most of us do not really have to seek far and wide. Happiness grows at our fireside, if we cultivate it.

Nora: It’s a shame to say that. I do really save all I can.

Helmer: (laughing) That’s very true, - all you can. But you can’t save anything!

Nora: (smiling quietly and happily) You haven’t any idea how many expenses we skylarks and squirrels have,
Torvald.

Helmer: You are an odd little soul. Very like your father. You always find some new way of wheedling money
out of me, and as soon as you have got it, it seems to melt in your hands. You never know where it has gone.
Still, one must take you as you are. It is in the blood: for indeed it is true that you can inherit these things, Nora.

Nora: Ah, I wish I had inherited many of papa’s qualities.

Helmer: And I would not wish you to be anything but just what you are, my little skylark. But do you know, it

HELMER: You do, really. Look straight at me.

Helmer: (wagging his finger at her) Hasn’t Miss Sweet Tooth been breaking rules in town today?

Nora: No; what makes you think that?

Helmer: Hasn’t she paid a visit to the confectioner’s?

Nora: No, I assure you, Torvald-

Helmer: Not been nibbling sweets?

Nora: No, certainly not.

Helmer: Not even take a bite at a macaroon or two?

Nora: (going to the table on the right) I shouldn’t think of going against your wishes.

Helmer: No, I am sure of that: besides, you gave me your word- (Going up to her) Keep your little Christmas
secrets to yourself, my darling. They will be revealed tonight when the Christmas tree is lit, no doubt.

Nora: Did you remember to invite Doctor Rank?

Helmer: No. But there is no need; as a matter of course, he will come to dinner with us. However, I will ask
him when he comes this morning. I have ordered some good wine. Nora, you can’t think how I am looking
forward to this evening.

Nora: So am I! And how the children will enjoy themselves, Torvald!

And who owns stout steers and a healthy herd.
That bears in the months of plenty.
That are over-weight by fat.
Others : Yes it is him indeed!
Soloist : He that owns heifers with large stomachs.
For whom the meadow is insufficient but who gets stuffed at the valleys.
Where cow bells are removed1
As they are grazed together with those of the king’s
Others: It is him!
Soloist: I have the blue one with the horn.
Whose beauty resists branding.
Who leads the large herd of Kilapa2
Whose numbers pose difficulty when moving homes.
From NaomKipury, Oral literature of the Maasai

1. UFAHAMU: (Alama 15)

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali.

Gari lake kuukuu lilikuwa linapambana na barabara yenye mashimo yaliyoshiba na kutapika maji ya mvua
ambayo sasa ilikuwa inaanza kupusa. Japo daima alipambana na usukani kunako mashimo haya barabara
iliyosakafishwa nayo ikahitimu? Magurudumu haya yaliyong’ara kama upara wa shaibu aliyekula chumvii hadi
ikamwogopa yangetii uelekezi wake? Mara ngapi gari hili limetaka kumwasi barabarani? Haya yalikuwa baadhi
ya maswali yaliyompitikia akilini. Hakujitakilifu kutaka kuyapa mji maana mara ile mawazo yake yalitekwa na
kubwagwa katika nchi ya mbali – nchi ambayo sasa aliiona kama sinema akilini mwake.

Alipofika nyumbani aliliegesha gari lake na kufululiza ndani. Siku mbili zilikuwa zimepita akiwa pale kazini.
Madaktari kama yeye hawakuwa wengi. Alikuwa miongoni mwa madaktari wenye ujuzi katika hospitali hii ya
kitaifa. Wenzake wengi walikuwa wamehamia ughaibuni walikokwenda kutafuta maisha. Mshahara wao wa
mkia wa mbuzi uliwasukuma na kuwatema nje ya nchi yao. Wengi wa waliohamia ng’ambo waliona vigumu
kubaki katika ajira ambayo kivuno chake kilishindwa kumvusha mtu hata nusu ya kwanza ya mwezi.
Malalamishi ya kulilia ujira wa heshima yaligonga kwenye masikio yaliyotiwa zege. Na kweli wanavyosema,
mwenye macho haambiwi tazama. Basi walitazama hapana pale wakaona penye mianya ya matumaini,nao
wakaiandama.

Hadi leo hii hamna la mno lililofanyika. Ndiyo maana Daktari Tabibu anarudi nyumbani tangu kuingia kazini
hiyo juzi alfajiri. Hafanyi kwa kuwa katosheka,maana pia yeye an dukuduku. Ana shaka ya mustakabali wake
ikiwa mazingira ni haya kumsoza,maana umri nao unazidi kumla. Japo anatia na kutoa,mizani ya hesabu yake
imeasi ulinganifu.

Daktari Tabibu ni mfungwa. Ametekwa na kuzuiwa kwenye kipenda na kuchukia mambo. Ni kama mti
uliodumaa. Anatami barabara nzuri lami. Anatamani mshabara wa kumwezesha kukidhi mahitaji yake ya
kutimiza majukumu yake ya kimsingi. Jana amesema na rafiki yake aliye ng’ambo kwa simu ambayo sasa
imetulia mkabala naye. Ingawa mwenzake huyu alikuwa mchangamfu na kumdokolea hali ya maisha ya
kuridhisha kule ugenini kama vile wanataaluma kuenziwa,yapo vilevile yaliyomtia unyonge moyoni. Upweke
ndio ulimtia fukuto kuu. Licha ya hela zote hizo za kupigiwa mfano,watu hawana muda wa kutembeleana
nakujuliana hali au hata kukutana tu mkahawani wakashiriki mlo. Eti ni kila mtu na hamsini zake. Halafu ipo
KCSE Predictions Marking Schemes - 0707550000 / 0705525657

2021 The Kenya National Examinations Council

changamoto ya hali ya hewa. Baridi ya ng’ambo haifanyi mzaha katika kumtafuna mtu. Ni hali tofauti na ile
aliyoizoea.

Daktari Tabibu alizitia kauli za rafiki yake kwenye mizani ya moyo wake. Akawaza ikiwa kweli si bora
kulemazwa na mzizio ugenini badala ya kuishi katika kinamasi cha kuumbuliwa nyubani. Kisha punde lilimjia
wazo la marehemu nyanyake na wengine kama yeye waliofadhili masomo yake kupitia kwa serikali ya njia ya
kodi. Je si usaliti huu?Vipi aikimbie nchi kabla ya kuihudumia ilhali imemjenga hadi kuwa daktari? Na je
wafanyakazi wake wa nyumbani watakwenda wapi? Atawaambiaje kuwa sasa hahitaji huduma zao kwa kuwa
anakimbia nchi yake?

Mawazo yake yalikatizwa na simu iliyolia na kumshtua. Alipoitazama aliiona imeng’ara kwa mwangaza
ulioweka wazi jina la mpigaji. Alifahamu kuwa leo hii tena dharura nyingine ilikuwa inamwalika hospitalini.
Hapo ndipo alipoiinua ile simu tayari kusema na mwenzake upande wa pili.

“Haloo!” sauti nyororo kutoka upande wa pili iliita.

“haloo!”

“Naam!Dharura nyingine tena daktari. Unaombwa kuokoa maisha mengine tena!”

“Haya. Ila mwanzo nitahitaji kujimwagia maji,” na pale pale akaikata ile simu.

Daktari Tabibu aliingia hamamuni huku kajifunga taulo kiunoni tayari kuoga. Aliyafungulia maji lakini ule
mfereji uligoma kutapika maji. Ulikuwa umekauka kabisa. Daktari Tabibu aliduwaa pale. Aliufunga ule
mfereji kabla ya kuiaga bafu.

2. UFUPISHO (Alama 15)

Wakenya walipolipata katiba mpya waliidhinisha mfumo wa ugatuzi. Katika mfumo huu,mamlaka ya serikali
kuu katika uongozi,usimamizi na utumiaji wa rasilimali za nchi hupunguzwa. Kiasi Fulani cha mamlaka
hutwaliwa na maeneo ya ugatuzi. Suala hili halikuzingatiwa katika katiba ya awali ambapo mamlaka yote
yalikuwa mikononi mwa serikali kuu. Kutokana na upana na wingi wa maeneo,iliiwia vigumu serikali kuu
kuhakikisha kwamba kulikuwa na usawa wa kimaendeleo katika sehemu nchini.

KCSE Predictions Marking Schemes - 0707550000 / 0705525657

2021 The Kenya National Examinations Council

Kwa mujibu wa katiba mpya,serikali kuu haina budi kuyasidia maeneo yote ya ugatuzi ili yaweze kujinyanyua
kiuchumi na kuboresha hali za maisha za wakazi wake. Vilevile ni jukumu la kila eneo la ugatuzi kuweka
mikakati madhubuti ili kuchunguza na kubainisha rasilimali zote katika maeneo husika. Hili litasaidia kufumba
rasilimali ambazo zinaweza kuchangia katika ustawishaji wa maeneo haya. Maeneo haya pia yanatakiwa
kutafuta mbinu zitakazofanikisha uzalishaji na utumiaji wa rasilimali hizi kwa njia endelevu. Mojawapo ya
mbinu hizi ni uongezaji thamani katika rasilimali yoyote inayozalisha kwenye eneo mahususi.
Maeneo mengi ya ugatuzi nchini humu yanategemea kilimo cha ufugaji kama mhimili wa uchumi. Licha
wenyeji kikamilifu. Aghalabu kuwa nguzo,kilimo hiki hakijawahi kupigiwa darubini vizuri kwa lengo la
kukiimarisha ili kiwanufaishe wenjeji kikamilifu. Aghalabu wafugaji wengi huandama mbinu za jadi za ufugaji
ambazo haziwahakikishii ongezeko la mapato. Isitoshe,wafugaji hawa wanakabiliwa na tatizo katika soko la
mifugo ambapo wengi hupunjwa na matapeli. Pamoja na haya,baadhi ya wakazi huuza mifugo nje ya nchi
wakiwa wazimawazima bila kuwazia matokeo ya kitendo hiki. Si ajabu kuwaona ng’ombe, ngamia,mbuzi, na
kondoo wakipakiwa kwenye malori na kusafirishwa nje ya nchi. Ukweli ni kwamba jambo hili ni hatari
sana,si kwa uchumi wa maeneo husika tu,bali pia kwa Kenya kwa jumla . Hii ni kwa kuwa walionunua mifugo
wazimawazima wanaweza kuhiari kutowachinja na badala yake kuwatumia kama mbegu kwani baada ya muda
huenda wanaonunu mifugo wakijitosheleza na kukosa kununua mifugo wengine. Hali ikiwa hivyo, maeneo
yaliyotegemea soko hili huenda yakalipoteza taratibu,na bila shaka kupoteza natija inayotokana na soko
lenyewe

Ili kudhibitisha hali hii,itakuwa bora ikiwa viwanda vya kuchinjia mifugo na kupakia nyama vitajengwa katika
maeneo haya ya ugatuzi. Hili litawawezesha wakazi kuuza nyama badala ya kuuza mifugo wazimawazima.
Fauka ya hayo maeneo haya yatajikinga dhidi ya kupoteza bidhaa zinazotokana na mifugo. Hizi ni kama vile
ngozi, kwato na pembe ambazo bila shaka zina natija kuu. Ngozi kwa mfano,ni bidhaa muhimu sana katika
sekta ya utengenezaji wa mavazi na mifuko. Viwanda vinavyotumia ngozi kama malighafi vikijengwa katika
maeneo haya,wakazi wake watanufaika si haba. Madhalani,viwanda vya kutengenezea viatu,mishipi,mifuko na
nguo vikianzishwa,wawekezaji watalazimika kuanzisha viwanda vingine tegemezi. Kathalika,ni dhahiri
kwamba bidhaa zinazotokana na ngozi huhitaji kutiwa nakshi. Kuanzishwa kwa viwanda hivi basi kutazua haja
ya kuanzishwa kwa viwanda vingine vya kutengeneza rangi,pamoja na maduka ya kuuza bidhaa zenyewe.
Isitoshe,gundi ya kugandisha bidhaa hizi itahitajika,hivyo kusababisha haja ya kuanzishwa kwa kiwanda cha

KCSE Predictions Marking Schemes - 0707550000 / 0705525657

2021 The Kenya National Examinations Council

gundi. Matokeo ya shughuli hizi zote ni kuzalishwa kwa nafasi anuwaiza kazi kwa wakazi. Hili litakuwa na
matokeo zaidi chanya,hususan kwa vijana. Badala ya kushiriki ulevi na burudani zinazowahatarisha, wataweza
kumjitafutia riziki katika viwanda hivi.

Juu ya hayo,mfumo wa ugatuzi utayaweza maeneo husika kuongeza thamani,utoaji wa huduma za kijamii na
kuitawala kulingana na mahitaji ya maeneo haya. Ni muhimu hata hivyo kuzingatia kwamba kila eneo
laugatuzi lina upekee wake,navyo vipaumbele hutofautiana kulingana na maeneo. Kuna yale ambayo
yatasisitiza usalama, mengine ujezi na uimirishaji wa miundomusingi kama vile barabara,vituo vya afya na hata
taasizi za elimu. La muhimu ni wakazi wa maeneo husika kubainisha ni lipi litatekelezwa kwanza.

Kinga na kinga ndipo moto uwakapo. Kufanikiwa kwa mfumo wa ugatuzi kutategemea juhudi za kila mkazi
wa eneo husika. Ni muhimu kila mkazi kujiona kuwa mmiliki wa eneo zima la ugatuzi na kuwajibika katika
kuliendeleza kwa hali na mali. Uwajibikaji huu unajumuisha uteuzi wa viongozi wenye muono mzuri na mabao
utawawezesha kuyafikia malengo yao ya kimaendeleo. Hakika,mustakabali na uwepo wa eneo la ugatuzi
utakuwa zao la mamuzi ya wanaeneo. Vilevile ufanisi wa maeneo ya ugatuzi utakuwa msingi wa ufanisi wa
taifa kwa jumla.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS & OPERATING SYSTEMS

A computer is a machine or an electronic device that can solve problems by accepting data, performing
certain operations on that data (processing) and presenting the results of those operations (Information) Basic
characteristics that distinguish a computer from other information processing devices:-

(i) A computer is electronic- That is, all it processing operations are carried out with electrical
signals

(ii) A computer can store information for future reference. This is done on temporary basis with
memory circuits and permanently with storage devices such as magnetic disks and tape.

(iii) A computer is programmable – unlike other devices built to perform a single function, a

computer can be instructed or programmed to perform a variety of tasks.

KCSE Predictions Marking Schemes - 0707550000 / 0705525657

HOW A COMPUTER OPERATES

Converting the data (raw facts) into information (Organized, usable form) is called data processing.

Data get into the system by means of an input device.e.g keyboard then the computer performs the necessary
calculations or manipulations on the data and finally the organized information is displayed by an output
device e.g. a monitor.

FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY A COMPUTER

Although computers have many applications, they can perform only three basic tasks.

(i). Arithmetic functions on numeric data (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing)

(ii). Test relationships between data items (by comparing values)

(iii). Store and retrieve data

These skills are really no more than people can do, but the computer can accomplish the task more;

 Faster

 Accurately

 Reliably

Required:

(a). Align the title to the centre and underline it. (1 marks)

(b). Add border to the title (2 marks)

(c). Replace all the Roman numbers with bullets. (2 marks)

(d).

(i) Insert the footer “End of Term One Examination 2021”. (2 marks)

(ii) Insert the header “Your name and index No” (2 marks)

PASSAGE 4

Au nord du Kenya, dans la région du Wajir, des collectionneurs engagent des habitants pour ouvrir des
tombes scellées contenant des antiquités que même les musées Kenyans n’ont jamais rencontrés.
«On ne trouve plus de Vigangus, » ces cimetières de la tribu Mijikenda sur la cote Kenyane dans leur zone
d’origine. En revanche, il y en a pleines les musées d’Europe et d’Amérique ? dit George Abungu, le
directeur des musées nationaux du Kenya. Mais tandis que les sites archéologiques non protégés sont des
cibles faciles, les musées africains subissent eux aussi de lourdes pertes lors de raids perpètre par des voleurs
souvent puissamment armes et prêt a attaquer et a tuer a tout gardien osant s’opposer a eux.
George Abungu accuse des collectionneurs fortunes, des diplomates ainsi que certains musées d’Europe et
d’Amérique de promouvoir le trafic en pro mettant des sommes qui semblent fabuleuses a des communautés
africaines pauvres et a des revendeurs locaux sans scrupules. Toutefois, ajoute-t-il, les gouvernements
africains sont eux aussi a blâmer : jamais la protection, la conservation ou la préservation du patrimoine
culturel n’ont été considérées comme des priorités.
