Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali 31 mpaka 40.

Je umewahi kutafakari kuhusu neno mazingira? Ni neno ambalo daima limekuwa vinywani mwa waja. Mazingira ni ile hali au mambo yanayozunguka mtu mahali anapoishi; nchi kavu, angani na hata majini. Manufaa atakayopata binadamu yanategemea namna anavyoyatunza mazingira yake.

Fikiria vile hali ingekuwa bila mito, miti, maziwa, milima, mabonde na hewa safi! Yakini, hali ingekuwa si hali. Tuchukue kwa mfano mito na maziwa, faida zake ni chungu nzima. Maji tunayoyatumia nyumbani, kupikia, kufulia na kunyweshea mifugo na kwa unadhifu wa binadamu hutoka pale. Aidha, shughuli nyingi za viwandani huhitaji maji kwa wingi. Wakulima nao wanafaidika kwa kuwa wanayatumia maji kunyunyizia mimea yao.

Isitoshe, miti ina tija kubwa kwa jamii. Hutumiwa katika ujenzi, kutengeneza dawa, kutupatia chakula na kama hifadhi ya wanyama na ndege. Vilevile, miti huvuta mvua, husafisha hewa na kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo na kurembesha mazingira. Ukataji miti kiholela hum- nyima binadamu faida hizi.

Ni dhahiri kwamba mazingira ni uhai na hatuna budi kuyatunza. Mathalan tuyaondoe maji yaliyotuama kwenye vidimbwi kisha tuvizibe. Vyombo vingine kama vile mikebe na vigae ambavyo vimetapakaa nje huweza kuhifadhi maji kunyeshapo na kutuama hivyo kuwa mahali pa mbu kuzalia. Endapo hatutachukua hatua hii, mbu wanaweza kuzaliana humo na kusababisha malaria. Hali kadhalika watu wanaweza kuyanywa na kuambukizwa uwele wa waba. Hatari hizi zinaweza kuzuiwa kwa kutia kemikali kwenye maji hayo ili kuwaangamiza viluwiluwi waliomo. Vyombo ambavyo vinaweza kuweka maji yasiyohitajika visitupwe ovyoovyo.

Hewa safi ni muhimu kwa maisha ya binadamu. Hewa hii inaweza kuharibiwa na moshi utokao kwenye magari mabovu na pia viwandani. Kutokana na uchafuzi wa hewa, uhai wa bi- nadamu huhatarishwa kwani huenda akapatwa na magonjwa anuwai yakiwemo pumu, saratani kifua kikuu na hata yale ya ngozi. Aidha, uchafuzi wa hewa huwa na athari kwa hali ya anga. Kwa mfano safu ya ozoni ikiharibiwa, joto jingi hutokea na huweza kuathiri afya ya binadamu na wanyama. Misimu na majira pia hubadilika jambo ambalo huweza kuathiri kilimo na miundo misingi. Ili kukabiliana na janga hili, magari mabovu yanayotoa moshi mwingi yakarabatiwe au kuondolewa barabarani. Wenye viwanda wanastahili kubuni mikakati kabambe ili kudhibiti gesi na majitaka yatokanayo na shughuli za kuzalisha bidhaa.

Mazingira ya nyumbani nayo ni muhimu. Tunafaa kuyatunza kulihali kwani tusipotahadhari tutajilaumu wenyewe. Mabaki ya chakula husababisha uvundo katika nyumba zetu yasipohifad- hiwa vizuri. Zaidi ya hayo, picha tuipatayo katika baadhi ya nyumba inachukiza. Utapata taka zimeenea kote; si maji machafu, si maganda ya ndizi na parachichi, si kaka za mayai, si karatasi na matunda yaliyooza na kuozeana. Ni nani mwingine atakuja kudumisha usafi wa nyumba zetu ila sisi wenyewe? Hatari inayotukodolea macho ni kubwa. Kuna uwezekano kuwa umewahi kuteleza na kuanguka kutokana na kukanyaga ganda la ndizi lililotupwa shelabela. Wa kulaumiwa ni nani? Wahenga walig'onga ndipo waliposema mwiba wa kujichoma hauambiwi pole. Kila mmoja katika familia ana jukumu la kuhakikisha kwamba taka zote za nyumbani zimetupwa kwenye jalala.

Ni wazi kuwa mazingira ni a hidaya ambayo tunapaswa kuithamini lau sivyo tutakuwa chachandu anayejipalia makaa.

"Ngomeni washuke! Ngomeni washuke!"Sauti ya utingo ilihanikiza kote kuwahimiza abiria ambao walikuwa wamejaa pomoni kwenye daladala hii kushuka. Sauti hii ndiyo iliyoniamsha kwenye usingizi mzito. Sikujua nilikuwa nimelala kwa muda gani. Nililokumbuka ni kwamba mara tu baada ya kuhakikisha kwamba nimekihifadhi kirununu changu kibindoni, usingizi uliniiba, nikalala bila hata kuwazia kwamba nilikuwa mwana genzi wa safari. Licha ya kwamba hii ndiyo iliyokuwa mara yangu ya kwanza kuondoka nyumbani peke yangu, ilikuwa pia mara yangu ya kwanza kwenda jijini. Hakika jiji la Tugawane nilikuwa nasikia habari kulihusu ama kutoka kwa marafiki wangu wachache waliobahatika kuwa na jamaa huko, au kupitia magazeti ambayo hayakuchelewa kuandika visa vya kuchangamsha, kushangaza na kuhuzunisha kuhusu jiji hili.

"Ndugu, umelala sana," alisema abiria aliyekuwa ameketi karibu nami, akanitazama tena kisha akaendelea, "Unaenda wapi huku Tugawane? Naona tunakaribia kufika kituo cha mwisho. Hawa wakishuka, tunastahili kujitayarisha kwani tukifika kwenye kituo cha mabasi cha Hamaniko sote tutahitajika kushuka".

Maneno ya abiria mwenzangu yalinitanabahisha kwamba kwa kweli sikujua nilikokuwa naelekea. Sikujua kwa sababu baba yangu aliniambia tu kwamba ami yangu angenipokea huko kituoni. Sikuona haja ya kukumbuka jina la mtaa nilikokuwa naenda kwani baba aliniandikia nambari ya ami, nikaihifadhi kwenye kirununu changu, japo kwa kweli alinitajia jina lenyewe. Nilijua kwamba ningempata ami kituoni na kama ningechelewa, ningempigia simu.

"Sijui ninakoenda," nilimwambia abiria mwenzangu; ami yangu atakuja kunipokea kituoni. Kesho atanipeleka chuoni, Mwenge." Abiria mwenzangu aliniangalia akatikisa kichwa kisha akanitazama tena kana kwamba ananiambia, "Utafungaje safari bila kujua uendako kisha unalala? Naona ubwabwa wa shingo haujakutoka. Nakuhurumia kwa yatakayokupata."

Hatimaye gari lilipunguza mwendo na kupinda kuelekea kituo cha Hamaniko. Kibarabara kilichoelekea huko, kilikuwa kimeshiba kikatapika. Si maelfu ya magari, na rukwama zilizosheheni mizigo ya wachuuzi wa vyakula, si matusi ya mahamali waliotaka kupishwa, si wauzaji wa vipande vya matunda vilivyofungwa kwa karatasi za plastiki... Hata sauti nene ya utingo ilipotangaza, "Shukeni haraka! Tulikuwa tumechukua saa mbili ushei kusafiri masafa ya kilomita tano tu. Mara tu utingo alipotoa tangazo abiria mwenzangu alikurupuka na kushuka haraka bila kunipa hata kwaheri. Niliinuka nikaingiza kiganja changu kibindoni ambamo nilikuwa nimekihifadhi kirununu changu. "Mungu wangu!" Nilisema kwa sauti ya jitimai iliyomshtua hata utingo. "Nini kijana?" Aliuliza utingo. "Sioni rununu yangu," nilimwambia huku nikizuia kilio. "Humo ndimo nilimokuwa nimehifadhi nambari ya simu ya ami yangu. Ami anakuja kunipokea kituoni," Nilimweleza utingo zaidi.

"Basi wewe shuka. Utamsubiri ami yako huko kwenye ubao huo," alisema kisha akajiondokea bila hata kuniuliza kama namjua mwingine yeyote katika jiji hili.

"Maskini ami asipokuja sijui nitafanya nini," nilijisemea, "Kumbe, mwenzangu huyu alijua aliyotenda? Kumbe ndiyo maana akaondoka bila kunijulia la heri wala la shari?"

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

Jeremy lived with his parents in Kongoni village. His father was a peasant farmer who owned a tiny piece of land. Each year, he planted maize and beans on this farm but the family did not have enough to eat. Jeremy's mother moulded pots and weaved baskets to sell at the local market. However, these did not fetch the family much money.

Jeremy was a very clever boy and his father was proud of him. He constantly got very good grades and was top of his class. What his teachers did not know was that Jeremy was always tired and hungry by the time he reached school. He had to walk ten kilometres to school every day. In the evening, he would walk back home and arrive when it was nearly dark. His mother would ask him to look after the younger children while she cooked supper.

One morning, Jeremy's mother was not feeling well. She sent him to fetch some firewood. This would make him late for school. He was worried that he would miss the first lesson.

As soon as he dropped the bundle of firewood in the house, Jeremy hurriedly left for school. On the way, he had to cross a narrow wooden bridge. Some of the wood appeared rotten and could fall into the river any time. So, Jeremy walked across the bridge carefully. Suddenly, he heard a splash and a scream from behind. He turned and saw a small child clinging onto a piece of timber. Jeremy wasted no time. He dived into the river. It was very cold. He felt the current carry him along. He swam hard against it and soon reached the child. He held out his hand and the child clung to him. Jeremy swam to the river bank with the little boy in his arms.

Soon a crowd gathered at the river bank. Among them was a smartly dressed lady.

"You are a brave young man". She said. The overjoyed lady led the two boys to her home. She gave them clothes to change. She told Jeremy, "Don't worry. I will accompany you to school and explain to your teacher why you are late." The lady was pleased with Jeremy's heroic act and gave him a brand new bicycle and promised to pay his school fees when he joined secondary school the following year. Jeremy was grateful and very excited. is

Read the following passage and then answer questions 39 to 50.

There are many sources of natural energy. They include wind, water and the sun. Energy from the sun is called solar energy. This type of energy is renewable. This means that it naturally replaces itself as it is being used. It therefore does not get finished. Solar energy is also plentiful. In fact, in only about 12 minutes, enough solar energy reaches the surface of the earth to supply the entire world with energy.

However, solar energy is not available all the time. It is not available at night. Clouds can also block out some of it. Nevertheless, when there is sunlight, solar energy can be conserved and used later. Moreover, when the sunlight strikes walls of buildings, solar energy is absorbed and stored. During the night, as outdoor temperatures fall, the stored energy is released slowly making the rooms warm.

A device called solar collector can be used to heat water for washing clothes, washing dishes and bathing. Water heated this way can also be stored in a tank to warm indoor air by releasing the heat. Unfortunately, this method of heating water is not used very much because the collector cannot store enough energy required to heat a large amount of water.

Another way of heating water is by using a solar furnace. The method can be used to heat water to temperatures high enough to produce steam. The steam can be used to generate electricity. So far, very few solar furnaces are being used because they are very expensive to build.

All in all, the sun remains one of the most available sources of energy. Therefore, energy experts hope to make better use of solar energy in the future.

Bwana Aisee aliporejea jijini alifungua ofisi kubwa aliyoipamba kwa samani za hali ya juu. Kisha aliwasiliana na waandishi wa magazeti mbalimbali. Alidai kuwa kulikuwako na mradi kabambe wa kuhakikisha kuwa vijana waliokosa amali wangeajiriwa kazi za maana kwenye hoteli za kitalii huko Uarabuni na Ulaya na hata kwenye meli za kifahari. Viongozi wengi walimshehenezea Bwana Aisee sifa kemkemu, “Huyu ni mzalendo kindakindaki! Anawakumbuka raia wenzake ambao hawana bahati kama yeye!"Vijulanga waliokuwa na hamu na ghamı ya kuenda ugenini walifurika ilipokuwa ofisi yake.

Walichohitajika kufanya tu ni kulipa ada ya shilingi elfu tano pamoja na kiasi kingine kama hicho kugharimia vyeti vya usafiri. Licha ya kuwa wengi wao hawakuwa na namna ya kuzipata pesa hizo, walikuwa radhi kukopa wahakikishe kuwa wamepata nafasi hizo adimu. Vijana hao pia walitakiwa kuenda hospitali fulani ya kibinafsi kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kimatibabu. "Aisee bwana, huo ndio ustaarabu wa wenzetu walioendelea.. Ukitaka kumwajiri mtu lazima uijue siha yake ikoje," Bwana Aisee. aliwakumbusha. Hamna aliyejali. Kilichokuwa muhimu ni kuwa, baada ya miezi miwili wangepata kazi ambazo zingewafanya waipige kumbo la milele ukata uliotishia kuwagubika kama wingu.

Baada ya kuzikusanya hela hizo zilizolipwa na vijana zaidi ya elfu thelathini, Bwana Aisee aliwaambia wangoje kwa muda wa miezi miwili. Muda waliokuwa wamepewa wa kungoja mambo yaive ukapita. Tarehe ya kusafiri kuenda kuanza kazi zao ikaahirishwa. Taarifa iliyotoka katika ofisi kuu huko ulaya ilidai kuwa kuahirishwa huko kalitokana na hali mbaya ya usalama. Tarehe hizo zilipokwisha kuahirishwa mara nyingine mbili, kila mmoja alianza kutuhumu kuwa palikuwa na jambo. Malalamishi ya kila aina yalianza kusikika kwenye vyombo vya habari. Wakaanza kumsaka Bwana Aisee. Lakini hawakujua kumbe bwana huyo alikuwa ameingia mitini.

Uchunguzi wa historia ya Bwana Aisee ulianza kufanywa. Jamaa waliosoma naye walitoa habari zake zote bila kusaza lolote. Walieleza jinsi alivyokua fundi wa kuongea kizungu. "Lakini huyu si fundi wa kizungu tu bali na mizungu pia!" Walisema wengine kwa hasira walipozisikia habari hizo. Serikali ilianza mipango kabambe ya kumsaka Bwana Aisee. Ilibidi kuwashirikisha wachunguzi wa polisi wa. kimataifa, INTERPOL, katika swala zima. Haikuchukua muda kabla ya kugunduliwa kuwa mashirika yaliyodaiwa kuhusika na suala la ajira hizo yalikuwa bandia.

Mambo yaliendelea kukanganya wakati ofisi ya Bwana Aisee iliyokuwa jijini ilipochomeka siku moja wakati wa usiku na vyeti vyote kuteketea. Nayo hospitali waliyokuwa wameenda kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kiafya wale walioenda kuomba kazi ilifungwa ghafla na daktari aliyehusika kutoweka. Ilikuwa wazi sasa kuwa watu walikuwa wametapeliwa.

Kashfa hii ilizungumziwa na wengi kote nchini si katika redio wala runinga bali pia magazetini na kwingineko. Adinasi waliapiza. Lakini njia ya mwongo ni fupi. Aisee alibambwa na polisi wa kimataifa alipokuwakatika uwanja wa ndege wa Frankfurt huko Ujerumani akijitayarisha kuabiri ndege kuelekea Afghanistan alikopanga kujificha kwa muda hadi mambo yatulie.

Baada ya kutiwa mikononi, Bwana Aisee alisafirishwa chini ya ulinzi mkali hadi jijini Nairobi alipofikishwa mbele ya hakimu. Kesi yake ilihudhuriwa na mamia ya vijana waliohasirika. Mwishowe Bwana Aisee alitumbukizwa gerezani kwa miaka minane ikiandamana na kazi za sulubu. Mizungu yake ilikuwa imegota mwamba.

Tarakilishi ama kompyutani kati ya teknoloji mpya ambayo inatumiwa siku hizi karibu kila mahali mathalani katika kampuni kubwakubwa, benki, masoko makubwa, viwandani, viwanja vya ndege, meli, idara za serikali, vyuo, shuleni na kadhalika. Katika shule za upili, tarakilishi ni somo ambalo. linashughulikiwa kuanzia kidato cha kwanza hadi cha nne na hutahiniwa katika mtihani wa kitaifa wa kidato cha nne. Aidha, serikali iko katika harakati za kuwapa vipakatalishi wanafunzi wote wa darasa la kwanza katika shule zote za umma nchini. . .....

Tarakilishi imegawanyika katika sehemu mbili muhimu, programu mfumo na maunzi. Maunzi ni : nenojumlishi ambalo hutumika kwa kurejeleavifaa vyote vya kompyuta kwa mfano kichapishi, kishalekezi. kiwambo au skrini, kipanya m mashine chapishi. Programu mfumo ni neno jumlishi ambalo hurejelea programu zote zinazoweza kutumika katika kompyuta.

Vifaa vinavyotumika katika kompyuta ni vingi. Kiwambo hutumika kwa kuonyesha data ambayo inashughulikiwa, nacho kichapishi hutumika katika kuvugulia data hiyo kwa kompyuta. Kishelekezi ni kifaa ambacho huwaka kikizimika kwenye skrini nacho huashiria mahali ambapo data inayovuguliwa itaingia. Pahali pa kishalekezi panaweza kubadilishwa kwa kutumia kipanya. Kipanya ni kidude chenye mkia mithili ya panya. Baada ya kazi kukamilika nadata kuwa habari mashine chapishi huichapisha. habari hiyo kwenye karatasi ili isomwe na watu wengi iwezekanavyo, pahali penginapahali popote.

Tarakilishi ina sifa nyingi muhimu. Chombo hiki kina uwezo wa kufanya hesabu na kazi nyinginezo kwa kasi sana. Sifa nyingine ni kwamba tarakilishi huhifadhi ujumbe mwingi sana kwa matumizi ya baadaye. Maclekezo huchukuliwa na kuwekwa kwa ajili ya kufuatwana chombo hiki. Mfululizo wa maelekezo haya ndiyo huongoza kompyuta katika wajibu wake na huitwa programu ambayo huandikwa kwa letgha ya kikompyuta. Kompyuta hufuata maelekezo haya kwa kuamshwa na binadamu. Sheria hizi huwa sahili na kompyuta ina uwezo wa kuzitumia ili kufikia uamuzi wa jinsi ya kutenda

Kuwasiliana na mifumo minginc yakompyutani muhimu sana na kompyuta ina uwezo wa kufanya hivyo. Kompyuta huingizwa data ambayo huchakatwa ili kuleta maana, na uzao wa kuchakatwa huku ndio huitwa habari. Programu ni mfumo wa utaratibu ambao umeandikwa kwa lugha ya kikompyuta. Programu huiwezesha kompyuta kuchakata data na kuifanya iwe habari kwa mfano, inaweza kuongeza rumbari mbili au zaidi na kukupa jibu.

Katika kompyuta habari inaweza kuhifadhiwa katika diski ngumu au diski tepetevu. Diskingumu ni nafasi inayopatikana katika kompyuta yenyewe na inaweza kuhifadhi maktaba inzima. Diski tepetevu niile nafasi ambamo disketi huwekwa ili habari inayochakatwa ihifadhiwe kwa disketi. Disketi ni kilaa kidogo mithili ya kaseti. Nafasi hizi za kompyuta zimegawanywa katika viendesha diski kwa mfano ukitaka kuhifadhi habari yako katika diski ngumu, utatumia kiendesha diski A. Ilhali ukitaka kuhifadhi kazi yako katika diski tepetevu utatumia kiendesha diski C.

Kwa hivyo kwa muhtasvi, tunaweza kusema kuwa kompyuta ni kifaa au chombo ambacho hufanya kazi kwa kuongozwa na programu iliyohifadhiwa. Kompyuta hujiendesha yenyewe kwa kukubali na kuchakata data ili iwe habari.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow.

Many years ago, baboon was the most boastful ape. He was fast and could jump with ease from one tree to another. Whenever the animals went out to steal crops from man's shamba, baboon would never be caught. He always laughed at his cousins; the monkeys and chimpanzees who would be caught and whipped mercilessly.

"Oh, poor you! How would you be as slow as a tortoise? You should learn to be fast like me whenever you sense danger," he would lease them. The animals once went to steal maize from man's shamba, baboon quickly ate to his full and took a few maize cobs home. He then alerted man from the top of a tall tree. "Hurry up, some thieves are feasting on your maize! Man hurried to the shamba before the animals could escape and shot several of them with poisoned arrows. Baboon watched the drama from the top of the tree with glee.

With time, the other animals got fed up with baboon's behaviour. They avoided him and rarely talked whenever he was within earshot. One afternoon, baboon found monkey peeling a ripe banana, his only meal for that day. Without uttering a word, he grabbed the banana from the monkey. He quickly ate it and when he was done, threw the peel at the poor monkey's face. Shell-shocked, monkey stared at baboon for a moment before asking," surely, why did you do that

"To teach you to be fast when eating delicious bananas," baboon replied. Monkey walked away feeling humiliated as baboon laughed loudly at him. He told other animals what baboon had done to him and they were upset. They decided to put an end to his unacceptable behaviour. They held a sliding competition and gathered on top of a steep hill. The competition involved sitting on the bark of a tree and sliding down a steep hill. The one who would take the shortest time to slide down the hill would emerge the winner

Baboon was upbeat about the competition and boasted he would be the first. Eager to show off his prowess, he sat on the hard bark of a free and made himself comfortable. As he was able to take off, monkey pulled the bark from under his bottoms as chimpanzee shoved him down the hill. Thinking that the animals had done this by mistake, he screamed for help but his pleas fell on deaf ears. The sharp stones and thorns along the steep path were unbearable. They bruised his bottom so much that they felt as though he was sitting on hot charcoal. His effort to hold on to vegetation along the path were frustrated by the animals who continued shoving him downhill. He screamed in pain as other animals joined monkey in mocking him, "are you not the toughest of us all?" they asked.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow.

Kenya's weather patterns are changing. The change in rainfall patterns has a huge impact on Kenya because 98 percent of the country's agriculture is rain fed. The major challenge that farmers face is timing. It is crucial for them to know when rains start and stop so that they know when to plant or harvest their crops. Most parts of Kenya experience two rain seasons, March to May's long rains and October to December's short ones. The months of June to August are mainly cool and dry over most parts of the country, except for some areas in the Western region that get rain.

Hot and dry conditions are normally observed in the entire country in January and February. In recent years, delay in the coming of rains has been the norm. In other years, rains came on time but then stopped earlier than anticipated. Such lead to massive crop failures.

Other than rainfall patterns, studies show a reduction in the amount of rainfall, especially during the March to May long rains period. This is a worrying trend; given that this is the main planting season.

The changes in Kenya's rainfall pattern have been linked to climate change. Global warming is known to cause an overall warming in the atmosphere and the ocean, resulting in complex shifts that affect our planet's weather and climate systems. Research shows that rainfall is reducing while temperatures are on the rise in Kenya, as is the case in other countries in the Horn of Africa.

In the case of Kenya's delayed rains, another culprit has also been identified; cyclones. It is normal for cyclones to happen on the Southern African Coast between February and March. But their magnitude is dictated by sca surface temperatures. These warm as a result of increased emission of green-house gases in the atmosphere leading to global warming. This means the intensity and frequency of cyclones is likely to increase.

The most recent cyclones was Idai and it occurred in the Western Indian Ocean in March last year.

The cyclone caused a depression - low pressure zone - in the ocean, cutting off moisture from flowing from the Southern hemisphere to East Africa. Cyclone Idai delayed the Northward progression of the rain-bearing low pressure zone, also known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.

This limited the moisture flow from reaching Kenya, leading to the observed seasonal rainfall delay that strengthened anomalous dryness from early mid-March last year. A combination of failed rainfall and the observed high temperatures adversely impact agricultural activities across many parts of the country.
