Katika miaka ya hivi karibuni, kumeshuhudiwa mabadiliko makubwa ya kijamii katika taifa letu. Miongoni mwa mabadiliko hayo ni kule kuendelea kwa taifa kuwa changa. Hii ina maana kuwa wananchi vijana walio na miaka chini ya thelathini na mitano ni wengi zaidi ya wale wenye umri mkubwa kuliko huo. Kwa sababu ya juhudi kubwa ya serikali, kufikia takriban miaka thelathini na mitano iliyopita, mbinu ya kujua kusoma na kuandika huchukuliwa kuwa kitu cha kawaida kama vile kuvaa nguo.

Tukitupa macho nyuma kabla ya utawala wa kikoloni kuingia huku kwetu yapata karne moja tu iliyopita, tutaona kuwa hali ilikuwa tofauti kabisa. Jumuiya zilizoishi katika sehemu ya bara hazikuwa zimeona wala kusikia mtu akiandika wala kusoma. Angetokea mtu awasomee makala wangemwona kama mwehu anayeboboka ovyo, kwani hicho kilikuwa kioja kikubwa.

Jumuiya za pwani zilikuwa na hali tofauti. Karne kadhaa hapo awali, wananchi hawa walikuwa wametembelewa na Waarabu kwa sababu ya kufanya biashara na kuwahubiria dini ya Kiislamu. Maingiliano haya yaliwanufaisha wananchi kwa njia ambayo labda haikukusudiwa. Walipata ujuzi wa kusoma na kuandika hati ya kiarabu ili waweze kusoma Koran katika lugha ya Kiarabu. Baadaye walitumia hati hiyo kuandika lugha zao za kienyeji. Maandishi mengi yalikuwa na lengo la kuhifadhi mafunzo ya dini ya Kiislamu.

Tukizingatia wazo hili la kuzichunguza baadhi ya jumuiya zilizoishi bara, tutaona kuwa zilikuwa na aina ya uandishi. Katika jumuiya mojawapo, kwa mfano, mgeni aliposema angekuja kutembea baada ya siku kumi, wenyeji wake walichukua ukambaa. Wakatengeneza mafundo kumi. Kila fundo liliwakilisha siku moja. Kila kulipokucha waliondoa fundo moja, mpaka fundo la kumi. Hii ikiwa njia mahususi ya kuhifadhi habari na ililingana na ile ya kuandika. Tunaweza kusema kuwa ilikuwa Wakoloni hawakuwa na mfumo mpya, labda kufikia sasa jumuiya hiyo ingekuwa imevumbua njia nyingine ya uandishi

31. Kwa nini taifa letu linaweza kuitwa changa?
    1. Halikui kwa sababu ya vijana wengi.
    2. Kwa sababu si la zamani sana.
    3. Hakuna wananchi wenye umri mkubwa.

32. Watu wengi nchini wanajua kusoma na kuandika kwa sababu
    1. kumekuwa na utulivu nchini.
    2. wananchi wanaona faida ya kujua kusoma na kuandika.
    3. wananchi wenyewe wamefanya bidii.
    4. kumekuwa na mpango uliotekelezwa kwa miaka thelathini na mitano.
33. Kwa mujibu wa taarifa hii, neno jingine lenyenmaana sawa na mbinu ni

    2. Karibu miaka mia moja iliyopita.
    3. Karibu miaka hamsini iliyopita. 
    4. Miaka mia tatu iliyopita.
35. Ni nini maana ya neno kioja?
    1. Ghasia.
    2. Ajabu.
    3. Maarifa.
    4. Wendawazimu.
36. Ujuzi wa kusoma na kuandika ulifika pwani
    1. wakati wa kuingia kwa ukoloni

    3. muda mfupi baada ya ukoloni

    3. kusomea na kuandikia Kiarabu.

    3. kuendeleza hati ya Kiarabu
    4. kuhifadhi mafunzo ya Kiislamu.

    3. shughuli zote mbili zilikuwa na lengo la kuhifadhi habari
    4. shughuli zote :nbili zilifanywa na wataalamu.
40. Katika aya ya mwisho, maoni ya mwandishi ni
    1. kuja kwa Wakoloni kulibadilisha utaratibu bora wa uandishi
    2. kuja kwa Wakoloni kulibadilisha matumizi ya mafundo

Baada ya uhuru, Kenya ilihitaji kuikweza lugha moja ya kiasili kuwa lugha ya taifa. Wakenya hawakutaka kuitumia lugha ya Kiingereza kama lugha ya taifa. Hii ilionekana kuwa lugha ya kikoloni na kigeni. Hali ya kuwepo lugha nyingi nchini ilitatiza uchaguzi wa lugha moja. Kila kabila lilitarajia lugha yake kuchaguliwa, jambo ambalo lilikuwa gumu. Kuchagua Kiingereza hakungefaa kwani, mbali na wasomi, raia wengi hawakukijua. Hata sasa wananchi wengi bado hawajakimudu.

Serikali ilishughulikia suala hili la uteuzi. Hatimaye, Kiswahili kilitunukiwa hadhi ya kuchaguliwa. Kama lugha ya taifa, Kiswhili hutumika katika maongezi ya kawaida, mawasiliano ya kibiashara na kadhalika. Kiswahili kilichaguliwa kwa sababu kadhaa. Kwanza, baadhi ya wasomi walifikiria kuwa lugha hii ilikuwa na asili ya Kiarabu. Kwa sababu hii walifikiria kuwa, Kiswahili hakikuwa lugha ya kabila lolote. Pili, wengine waliamini kwamba Kiswahili ni mchanganyiko wa lugha ya Kiarabu na lugha za kiafrika. Hivyo kingekubaliwa na makabila yote. Hata hivyo, wasomi wengine walishikilia kuwa hii ilikuwa ni lugha ya Kiafrika asilia bila mchanganyiko wowote.

Hivi leo hakuna ubishi wowote kuhusu asili ya Kiswahili. Hii ina maana kuwa Kiswahili kimekubalika kama lugha ya kiasili Afrika Mashariki. Pia ni kitambulisho cha utaifa wa nchi kama Kenya na Tanzania. Isitoshe, Kiswahili ni lugha mojawapo ya lugha za taifa nchini Kongo, Burundi na Rwanda.

41. Ni nini kilichotatiza uchanguzi wa lugha ya taifa?
    1. Wakenya hawakutaka kuchagua lugha ya kikoloni.
    2. Makabila na lugha nyingi nchini Kenya.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26 to 38.

The men were happy. Their plan to help one of them had worked out very well. They had agreed to rebuilt a house for Ruka whose house had got burnt down without the proper cause being established. He was at a neighbour's house, late in the evening when they heard people screaming about a fire. Little did he know that he was the victim. He heard them screaming that he was being burnt to death in the house that was already being consumed by flames. They rushed out to his compound but by the time they reached, no one could go near the burning house as it was too dangerous. They waited until it died down then the men sat down and Ruka told them that indeed, he had left a pot of beans boiling and it was not the first time. To him that could not have caused the fire but even if they knew, it wouldn't help much. The resolution was that all the villagers would assemble at Ruka's home the following morning and help construct him a new house.

Many sympathisers turned up with personal equipment and materials for the task ahead. Women came along with buckets, crockery, utensils and food items. They were also at hand to assist here and there as they waited for their main task of the day; mudding. Everybody was busy and jolly. By around three o'clock, the mudding was done and the door fixed. The men sat in groups to take a well-deserved rest and meal which was served by the women.

When the eating was over, the people started leaving in groups of twos and threes. Only a few neighbours were still around, keeping Ruka company next to his new house. It was then that they saw Kasai staggering towards them. At first, they felt uncomfortable because he had failed to heed to the call to assist a neighbour as expected. However, retaliation was not acceptable in the society. He approached them and mumbled a greeting to which they responded. No one asked him to apologise for the omission but he humbly did it and blamed his greed for alcohol. They laughed out loudly and since the pots of food were still lying next to them, they advised him to wash his hands and eat. Refusal to eat communal food offered would be taken in bad faith so he served himself and ate.

They were talking about life generally when Kasai told them he was seriously considering stopping consumption of alcohol. He explained that he had planned to join the rest that morning but when Tawa called on him and offered to buy him some drink, he changed his mind. Tawa seemed to have a lot of money which was not usual. It was while they were drinking that Tawa confided in him that he had caused the fire at Ruka's home accidentally.

He explained that he knew Ruka kept some money in the house and the exact location so he waited till he saw Ruka move to his neighbour's compound. He prowled into the room and as he was taking the money from the box, he realised the man had many nice clothes that he never wore. He decided to pick them too but when he reached near the fire place, he heard a movement that scared him stiff. The clothes dropped and he was already in flight through the door when he realised it was the cat that had scared him. He kept going and never looked back. The clothes must have caught fire and spread it to the firewood that was lying near the fireplace.

Kasai said he would report this to the elder so that his conscience could be clear. Dumb-founded by the revelation, the others watched as he stood up to go but Ruka asked him to sit down briefly. "Please tell your friend that the money he stole belongs to the village elder. He sold off some of his livestock and asked me to keep the money for him. Since he didn't burn the house intentionally, we shall forgive him for that but he must bring back all the money, including what the two of you have spent. You can now go."

Without saying a word, Kasai rose and started staggering away in the same fashion he had come.

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50

Itchy skin can be irritating and annoying, especially when you cannot pinpoint the cause. One day, you might feel fine but the very next one, you are ceaselessly scratching your arms, legs and body. There are many reasons that lead to these.

Itching all over is just an indication of dry, dehydrated skin. The lack of enough sebum (an oily and waxy material produced by the body's sebaceous glands) and natural oils cause the skin to become dry. When the skin's barrier is damaged, receptors in the skin respond by changing the type of signal being sent, resulting in the sensation of itchiness.

The problem, however, has a solution. Always rinse your skin with a gentle body wash to remove any irritants. Afterwards, apply a soothing moisturising lotion or oil, which will help your skin retain moisture. More importantly, focus on moisturising from the inside out. Make sure you drink around eight glasses of water a day and eat a healthy, balanced diet. It is also important to steer clear of hot shower- they strip your skin of natural oils and irritate it.

If you feel itchy after spending a lot of time outdoors, it is possible your skin is recovering from a sunburn. Skin that has been sunburned is dry and tight, which can cause itching. Sunburn causes your skin to become irritated and itchy by releasing inflammatory messengers that make your skin have uncomfortable itchy sensation.

You can control this by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. This will prevent your skin from further sun damage. To treat sun burns, apply an aloc vera lotion. You can also cut a fresh aloe vera leaf and apply the juice and rinse off after ten minutes.

While your skin is healing, take care to stay out of direct sunlight. Wear clothes that cover your arms, chest and legs. It is also good idea to wear a hat and sunglasses whenever you need to go outside.

If you notice itchiness after a long workout session, or after just being outdoors, sweat may be the culprit. Sweating, especially when it is more than usual, has been linked to acute itching. Luckily, this type is very rare. Those who suffer from it, at times, do not even suspect its cause.

Combined with water contact, perspiration such as while showering, swimming. or simply getting caught in the rain, can cause itching. This condition is known as aqua genic urticarial. This is immune-related reaction that can cause spots to appear on your skin after it comes into contact with water

39. If your skin irritates and itches, you should
    1. get medication before it spreads fast. 
    2. try to find out what causes it. 
    3. review the type of food you eat.
    4. check the oils you use after showering.

    1. is difficult to predict.
    2. can affect any part of the body.

41. To keep your skin moist, it could be good to
    1. avoid excess exposure to the sun. 
    2. all the food you cat should contain water.
    3. ensure your sebaceous glands function well.
    4. regulate the quantity of water you take daily. 
42. The main cause of the skin barrier damage is
    1. failure iucntify your skin problem.
    2. excessively scratching for too long.
    3. irritation of the skin.
    4. when the skin has inadequate sebum.
43. What is the main function of moisturiser?
    1. Retention of the moisture.
    2. Keeping the skin bright and soft.
    3. Allowing sweat to flow out when it is hot.
    4. Stops any feeling of itchiness.

    2. what you eat or drink can heip moisturise your skin.
    3. taking more time indoors than being outside is important.
    4. you sould avoid excessive intake of liquids.
45. Why should we avoid hot showers?
    1. The heat causes the expansion of the skin.
    2. The skin gets irritated when it cools down.
    3. Hot water affects the natural skin cover.
    4. The temperature of the water can burn the skin.
