MAELEKEZO:

• Mtihani huu una sehemu A,B,C,D na E.
• Jibu maswali yote katika sehemu zote
• Majibu yote yaandike kwenye nafsi zilizowekwa.

SEHEMU A :UFAHAMU

1. Soma kifungu cha habari kifuatacho, kasha jibu maswali yanayofuata, kwa kuchagua herufi ya jibu sahihi.

Afrika ni bara tajiri lenye rasilimali nyingi na adhimu. Utajiri wa bara hilo hauendani na utajiri wa wenyeji wa bara hilo, yaani waafrika. Yapo mambo mengi yanayosababisha mambo mbalimbali yaende ndivyo sivyo. Yapo ya kihistoria, kiuchumi, kisiasa na kiutawala.

Nchi mbalimbali za kiafrika hukabiliwa na majanga lukuki . majanga hayo tunaweza kuyagawa katika aina kuu mbili, nayo ni majanga ya asili na “majanga watu”. Majanga ya asili ni kama vile tetemeko la ardhi, mafuriko, ukame, mlipuko wa volcano na vimbunga. Majanga haya hutokana na nguvu za asili za dunia ambazo zipo juu ya uwezo wa binadamu. Aidha, “majanga watu” ni kama vile rushwa, matumizi mabaya ya madaraka, upendeleo, ufujaji wa mali ya umma, matumizi mabaya ya rasilimali za nchi, wivu, choyo na ubinafsi.

Haya yote uwepo wake hutokana na harakati za binadamu katika jamii husika. Kuna watu katika mfumo wa serikali hufumba macho na kuyaziba masikio ili wasione na kusikiliza kilio cha walalahoi. Kati ya watu hao likuki nchini, anajitokeza shujaa mwokozi. Shujaa huyu anaizunguka nchi yake nzima kujinadi kuwa yeye ni mzalendo,atawatoa kutoka nchi dhalimu na kuwavusha kwenye bahari ya misukosuko na mazila mengi hadi kwenye nchi tulivu ya asili na maziwa. Sauti kali inamtoka, ikipasua miamba na kuvunja kila aina ya hofu na uovu wa maneno. Sauti ilijipenyeza masikioni hadi mioyo ya wanajamii kote nchini. Wananchi wake wakampenda na kujipatia tumaini jipya. Hivyo, basi kwa kutumia “vichinjio” vyao wakakata shauri kumpa nafasi ili hatamu aishike. Ama kweli, tabia ni kama ngozi ya mwili, haibadiliki.

SECTION A
COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY

I. Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow:

In some cultures girls are sometimes forced to get married at a very early age. Parents force their daughters into marriage to get the dowry. Another reason is the fear that their daughters might get pregnant before they are properly married. It is considered shameful to the parents for a girl to get pregnant out of wedlock!

Early marriages put girls at a great risk. At that early age, the girls are physically not matured and developed enough to become mothers.

Early marriages also result in early and frequent childbirths and large families.

Forced early marriages deny girls the right to enjoy their childhood, the right to education and the right to choose the husbands of their own age groups and choices. When the girls are forced to marry men who are older than themselves and out of their choices, they are likely to become widows at an early age. After their husbands have died, the young widows are left to take care of their children on their own.

Customs and traditions do not guarantee that a young wife will inherit her husbands property. They violate the girls rights to make informed choices and to own property.

There are other factors too which force girls to engage in sexual relations before they get legal marriages. These include unequal power relations and economic hardships. The girls are exposed to unwanted pregnancies and to sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.

Unplanned pregnancies and abortions are common problems among young girls worldwide. This is why girls suffer more from pregnancy related complications and infants deaths.

Choose the best answer for each of the following questions.

 (i) The writer says that girls are forced into early marriages because:-

1. They want to get babies
2. Their parents face economic hardships.
3. They do not fear pregnancies.
4. They want to choose their husbands.

(ii) In order to avoid health risks, girls should get married when:

1. They are young
2. Their dowry is paid
3. They are physically not developed
4. They are fully grown up

1. Enjoy their young
2. Enjoy their right to education
3. Miss their own age – mates
4. Miss their childhood plays.

(iv) A widow is one who has:

1. Been forced to marry young
2. Lost her pregnancy
3. Lost her spouse in death
4. Been left to care for her children.

(v) Most girls are forced to marry men who are:

1. Older than themselves.
2. Young than themselves
3. As old as themselves.
4. From their age group

(vi) The word “wedlock” simply means the state of being?

1. Unmarried
2. Married
3. Traditional
4. Pregnant.

(vii) In the opinion of the writer, early marriages:

1. Deny parents big dowries.
2. Help the girls to get husbands of their choice
3. Are a serious hindrance to the progress of girls
4. Should be discouraged in modern societies.

(viii) The writer is certain that when girls are forced to marry old men they:

1. Will get many children
2. Will end up alone quickly
3. Will be treated.
4. Will become independent of their husbands.

(ix) One of the problems of a young wife is that she has:

1. No guarantee of inheritance
2. The right to get education
3. The right to inherit her husband’s property
4. The right to choose a husband 

(x) In the passage the writer suggests that girls engage in sexual relations because of:

1. Pleasure
