2. COMPREHENSION (20MKS)
Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow
Ever wondered what the difference between abortion and murder is? Or should we ask what the
two have in common? Both involve cutting life short. In the case of abortion, it happens to be
the equally precious life of unborn baby that is ended.

In Kenya, abortion is illegal except when the life of the pregnant woman is in danger. Violating
this carries the severe penalty of between 14 years and life imprisonment. The truth of the
matter, though, is that many illegal abortions are still taking place. How else can we explain the
presence of the foetuses in polythene papers dumped in city streets?
\
Many such abortions are unsafe. They are done using all manner of gruesome paraphernalia:
wires, knitting needles, sticks, herbs, chemicals, detergents and drugs. Many people performing
them lack the necessary skills and training. The environment in which they are done are usually
unsafe and do not meet minimum hygienic or health standards.

This sorry situation has led some to clamour for the legalization of abortion. They argue that as
things stand, it is adolescents and poor women who are forced to seek the services of the quacks.
The financially - endowed counterparts visit private clinics of qualified doctors for the same
services. They therefore do not suffer the consequences of a botched abortion; infertility,
excessive bleeding, perforated internal organs such as the bladder and intestines and, worst of
all, death. The feeling is that legalization of abortion would make it safe for all women.

But what reason, other than the legal one, would make a woman want to terminate a throbbing
life within her? Interruption of career and education, being too young to bring up a baby or
being abandoned by the father of the baby are often cited. Another reason is that the pregnancy
is as a result of rape or incest. Whatever the reason, the negative consequences of illegal
abortion, safe or otherwise, far outweigh any benefits it is purported to have.
Apart from the physical effects of unsafe abortion already mentioned, there are physiological ones.
They include headache, accelerated heart beat, dizziness, stomach upsets and disturbed sleep
and concentration. Eating disorders resulting in excessive weight gain or loss sometimes occur.

At the psychological level, a woman who has carried out an abortion usually suffers from
debilitating guilt.
She feels that she has gone against a mother’s natural tendancy. As a result of low-esteem, she
feels worthless and undeserving of even getting another baby.

Depression may also set in, the victim may feel very sad and cry for a long spell. She may lose
interest in life and want to commit suicide.

A mental illness called phychosis cannot also be ruled out. The sufferer exhibits very
uncharacteristic behaviour and is not able to distinguish reality from fantasy.
There is also stigma at the social level. Not many people would proudly want to associate with
one who has induced illegal abortion. A man seeking a marriage partner is likely to give such
a woman a wide berth.

In sum, though illegal abortion may appear to solve the immediate problem of the one seeking
it, it creates life-long complications.

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.
Nairobi, jiji kuu la Kenya ,ni jiji la maajabu na mastaajabu chungu nzima.Nadhari ya mtu
anayewahi kuingia katika jiji hili kwa mara ya kwanza huvutiwa na huo msheheneko wa
majumba ya fahari, marefu ajabu, kiasi cha minazi mitano-sita ,iliyounganishwa kuelekea
juu. mbinguni.

Jumba linalowavutia watu wengi ni lile Ia makongamano ya kimataifa Iiitwalo kwa Kiingereza
Kenyatta International Conference Centre Jumba hili,hadi miaka michache iliyopita, ndilo
lililokuwa refu zaidi mjini. Jumba lenyewe- lina ghorofa ishirini na tisa hivi ,usipohesabu
hilo pambo kama kofia kileleni mwake,linalojulikana kama mwavuli. Hata hivyo ,miaka
michache iliyopita jengo hili lilipitwa urefu na Mnara wa Nyakati (Times Tower).Mnara
huo hasa ni jumba linaloafiki lakabu yake ya kikwaruza mawingu. Jumba hili lina ghorofa
zisizopungua thelathini na mbili.

Mbali na majumba haya mawili ,kuna majumba mengine zaidi ya ishirini katikati ya jiji
ambayo,japo mengine ni mafupi kiasi ,yana maumbo ya kustaajabisha kweli kweli.Hebu
zingatia mwenyewe jumba Iiitwalo “mdomo wa kengele” au “bell —bottom” ambalo ni
vioo vitupu ,toka chini hadi juu.Fauka ya ,umbo lake ni Ia kipekee ulimwenguni kote. Jumba
hili lina kama miguu, kisha kiuno mithili ya kinu hivi japo si mviringo.Linapaa juu, mbali
sana, likichukua umbo pana kuliko lilivyo chini;umbo la kifua pana kama kengele. Halafu
rudia barabara; hizi hazina hesabu katikati ya jiji na ni pana, tena safi sana.Magari
yanayotumia barabara hizi ni kochokocho,ya kila aina na yanashindania nafasi.

Ajabu kubwa ya Nairobi hata hivyo ni idadi ya watu. Hakuna hasa anayejua idadi kamili ya
watu wa Nairobi ,lakini sio kupiga chuku ninaposema kwamba ,hasa nyakati za kuelekea
kazini asubuhi ,kwenda kula chakula cha mchana ,kuelekea nyumbani baada ya kazi na
kuvuka barabara wakati wa msongamano, watu hukanyagana .Mtu anayesema kwamba
watu wa Nairobi ni wengi kama chungu ,au kama mchanga wa ufuo wa bahari, hatii chumvi.

Watu wa Nairobi, kwa tabia na mavazi, si kama watu wa kwingineko nchini Kenya .Watu
hawa huvalia nadhifu sana.Wanawake ni warembo ajabu na hutengeneza nywele zao mithiIi
ya hurulaini peponi.Wengi huvaa suruali ndefu. Kucha zao na midomo yao hupaka rangi
maridadi sana. Huzungumza Kiswahili na Kiingereza takriban wakati wote.Wanawake
wengi ajabu huendesha magari yao wenyewe ,jambo ambalo litakushangaza mara tu
uingiapo jijini ,hasa kama ulilelewa ukidhani maskani mwafaka ya wanawake ni jikoni peke
yake;yaani kuzingatia ile falsafa kuwa “kuoa ni kupata jiko”.Wanaume nao huvaa suti safi
,maridadi na shingoni wamefunga tai stahiki yao.Wanaume hao huendesha magari na
kuyaegesha karibu na afisi zao.Huingia afisini mwao kwa maringo na madaha, huku funguo
za magari yao zikining’inia vidoleni. Hawa nao husema na Kiingereza kupitia puani,
utadhani ni waingereza hasa.
Kwa upande mwingine ,watoto ni nadhifu kweli kweli hasa watoto wa shule.Hawa huvalia
sare zilizofuliwa na kunyooshwa vizuri kwa pasi. Wake kwa waume ,shingoni huvalia tai.
Watoto wa shule za Nairobi huongea Kiswahili, Kiingereza na sheng, ambayo ni msimu
For Marking Schemes Contact 0746-222-000 / 0742-999-000
wao walioubuni.Msimu huu ni mchanganyiko wa Kiswahili,Kingereza na msamiati
mchache wa lugha nyingine za Wakenya zisemwazo jijini Nairobi na vitongojini mwake.

Kwa jumla ,watu wote wa Nairobi hutembea kasi sana.Hawana hata wakati wa kutembea
polepole na kuangazaangaza huku na huko.lwapo wewe ni mgeni jijini,ukizubaa utapigwa
kumbo na waendelee na hamsini zao kama vile hapakutokea jambo.Hili linapojiri, usidhani
limefanywa maksudi.La, hasha.Ni vile tu kwamba Wanairobi hawana muda wa kupoteza.

Ma famille
Je m’appelle Marie. Ma famille se compose de quatre personnes. Mon mari et moi avons deux
enfants, une fille de sept ans et un garçon de trois ans. Nous avons également des animaux : un
chat, un chien, deux lapins et des poissons rouges. Nous vivons dans une jolie maison avec un
grand jardin. Notre quartier est calme et paisible. Je suis secrétaire et je m’occupe de mes deux
enfants quand ils rentrent de l’école. Mon mari est professeur d’anglais dans une école qui se
trouve à 20 kilomètres de la maison. Le dimanche, nous aimons nous promener en famille dans

la forêt proche de notre maison et faire des jeux. Nous jouons dans le jardin quand il fait beau
ou dans la maison quand il pleut.
Les grands-parents de nos enfants aiment passer du temps avec nous lors des vacances. Les parents
de mon mari habitent très loin de chez nous, mais mes parents ont une maison à quelques
kilomètres de la nôtre. Les enfants aiment faire du vélo avec leur grand-père après l’école. Ma
fille fait parfois des gâteaux avec sa grand-mère le samedi après-midi. Nous les mangeons
ensemble le samedi soir.
Ma sœur habite également dans la même ville que nous. Elle a trois enfants, deux garçons et une
fille. Ils aiment venir passer le week-end à la maison, ainsi mes enfants jouent avec leurs cousins
dans le jardin.
