TIME: 2 hours Name:…………………………………………………………Stream:…………Attempt ALL questions.1. Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:ALCOHOLAlcoholism (too much taking of alcohol) has been defined as a disease when the ingestion of alcohol impairs the individual’s normal status of functions in daily situations and relationships. It is not necessary to become an alcoholic in order to be negatively affected by a serious drinking problem. We need to determine who the drinkers are, why they drink and the effects of alcohol on the health of drinkers.Firstly, drinkers come from all levels of society. The typical drunk to-day has been identified as a bright, middle-management executive in his thirties, married and living with his family in a nice neighbourhood. Drinkers fall into one of the following categories.The first type is the normal drinker. He drinks only occasionally and for perfectly innocent and harmless reasons; he could stop for a long period of time and never miss it.The second type is the alcohol dependent drinker. He drinks every day and depends on alcohol more than he will admit. Having to do without alcohol is a difficult and unpleasant experience, although he will argue vehemently that he can cut it out with no difficulty. During this stage, the individual usually becomes a heavy drinker. The third type is the alcoholic. He has lost control over his drinking and one drink leads to another. Alcohol seriously interferes with every aspect of his life, even though he may not admit it.Secondly, people drink for a variety of reasons. The reasons for the initial use of alcohol run from experimentation to rebellion. Drinking now is more socially acceptable than in the past. So many people drink to be sociable. Others drink occasionally to relax at the end of a tiring day. The businessman often finds himself drinking at lunches, dinners and meetings to please his client. And many teenagers as well as many adults drink in order to be accepted among their peers. Some drink because they enjoy the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Alcohol acts as a partial or total anaesthetic on the brain, depending on the amount in the blood. Moderate amounts help to reduce shyness and feelings of restraint and relax nervous tensions.Young people see movie and television stars drink, and advertisements make liquor seem like the normal accompaniment to having fun. People drink to gain relief from a difficult situation or to escape from facing reality.Thirdly, alcohol has many long-term effects on the drinkers’ health. As a food, alcohol supplies only calories. One eight –ounce glass of beer or a one-ounce drink of 84 proof whisky, each contains about seventy calories.Thus, heavy drinking means extra calories in the diet. Prolonged drinking of alcohol causes the liver to become swollen and yellow with fat. This often develops into a serious condition known as cirrhosis of the liver. After long, excessive alcohol use, damage can occur in the form of neuropathy or delirium tremens. Delirium tremens is marked by hallucinations, severe tremor, insomnia and great exhaustion.Extreme cases of long lasting alcoholism may cause permanent brain damage and mental illness requiring confinement in a psychiatric hospital. Another more direct effect of alcohol is on the heart muscle itself. Deaths related to alcohol have been cited as the fourth ranking public health problem in America, surpassed only by heart disease, cancer and mental diseases.( Slightly adapted from: “the liquor problem by the committee of fifty.”)Question:In not more than 120 words, summarise the reasons for drinking and the effects of alcohol.Rough copy.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

AFTERMuch as Ice cream is enjoyable, has anyone ever wondered how long it has been that freezer or how long that motorcyclist has carried it? Do we even care to look, at supplies it or is just a, matter of satisfying our appetite? At the Ice cream factory or supermarkets, ice cream costs anything from shs600 to shs30,000, depending on the size and flavor. So the person buying from the vendors saves just shs100 for the small tins. Diana Kenyangi, a nutritionist of Bank of Uganda clinic, says there is a difference between ice cream kept in the free7er and the one in the cooler. The one in the freezer can stay for six months without going bad, but the one in the cooler can only last for six to eight hours. Most vendors have coolers and perhaps by the time they sell the ice cream, it would have gone bad”, she says. Mark Akampa, a nutritionist at Mbarara University teaching Hospital says one should be careful with edibles that are sold on the streets. The hygiene of the vendors is questionable. Some of them use old this. This puts people’s health at risk”, he adds, ‘it is important for people to mind what they eat.’ The ice cream form the supermarket might be okay because it is supplied by manufactures, but no one knows whether that sold on the streets is from genuine manufactures. “Ugandans are funny. One can even collect used empty ice tins and re use them. Once the consumer sees the label on the tin, they rush to buy the ice cream yet it could be fake”, Akampa says. “It is possible for people to catch typhoid, brucellosis and cholera f they eat ice cream prepared from unhygienic places”, Kenyangi says. She says ice cream, it consumed a lot, can result into obesity, heart disease and digestive problems. The constant ingestion of herbicides, pesticides and anything else the cow eats is not good for human beings. These wind up getting stored in human fat, which is not healthy”, she says. Other problems associated with ice cream consumption include allergies and high fat and sugar intake. “Protein -- based foods like milk can cause allergies .to running stomachs and vomiting. If one gets an allergy after eating ice cream, the only solution is to stop taking it’ Kenyangi advises. In hospitals around town, treating diseases like brucellosis and typhoid may cost between shs.30,000 and shs.50,000. Hanifa Baucu a nutritionist at Mulago Hospital warns that people should be careful where they buy ice cream from. Leave alone the ice cream being okay, the person selling it might on be healthy. The vendors’ health status is important because he can easily infect the consumers”, he says. Healthy inspectors should ensure that ice cream vendors are extremely clean because the publics’ health is very important. Allowing only licensed vendors to operate may save the public associated with bad ice cream. Question:In about 90 words, summarize the precautions one should take before eating ice cream and the likely consequences of consuming it.Rough Copy………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Fair copy……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………2.ARead the passage below and answer questions after.When we arrived in New York City our names changed almost immediately. At immigration, the officer asked father, Mister Elbures, if he had anything to declare. My father schools his head, “No,” and we were waved through. I was too afraid we wouldn’t be let in if I corrected the man’s pronunciation, but I said our name to myself, opening my mouth wide for the organ blast of a, trilling my tongue for the drum roll of the r, All-vah-rrr-es! How could anyone get Elbures out of that orchestra of sound? At the hotel my mother was Misos Alburest, and I was little grid, stop riding the elevator up and down, It’s not a tog.” When we moved into our new apartment building, the super called my father Mister Alberase, and the neighbours who became mother’s friends pronounced her name Jew-lee-ah instead of Hoo-lee-ah. I, her name sake, was known as Hoo-tah at home. But at school, I was Judy or Judith, and once an English teacher mistook me for Juliet. It took a while to get used to my new names. I wondered if I shouldn’t correct my teachers and new friends. But my mother argued that it didn’t matter. “You know what your friend Shakespeare said, ‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” My family had gotten into the habit of calling any famous author “my friend” because I had begun to write poems and stories in English class.By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group, of trouble making friends my mother forbade me to hang out with called me Akatraz. I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Pupi and uncle and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday after noons-old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America. JUOY ALCATRAZ: the name on the wanted Poster would read. Who would ever trace her to me? My older sister had the hardest time getting an American name for herself because Mouricia did not translate into English. Ironically, although she had the most foreign- sounding name, she and I were the Americans in the family. We had been born in New York City when our parents had first tried immigration and then gone back “home” too home sick to stay’ My mother often told the story of how she had almost changed my sister’s name in the hospital. After the delivery, Mami and some other new mothers were cooing over their new baby sons and daughters and exchanging names and weights and delivery stories. My mother was em4arrassed among the Sallys and Janes and Georges and Johns to reveal the rich, noisy name of Mauricia, so when her turn came to brag, she gave her baby’s name as Maureen’. “Why’d ya give her an Irish name with so many pretty Spanish names to choose from?” One of the women asked. My mother blushed and admitted her baby’s real name to the group. Her mother-in-law had recently died, she apologized, and her husband had insisted that the first daughter be named after his mother, Mauran. My mother thought it the ugliest name she had ever heard, and she talked my father into what she believed was an improvement, a combination of Mauran and her own mother’s name, Felicia. “Her name is Mao-ree-shee-ah,” my mother said to the group of woman. “Why that’s a beautiful name,” the new mothers cried. “Moor-ee-sha,” they cooed into the pink blanket. Moor-ee-sha it was when we returned to the States eleven years later. Sometimes, American tongues found even that mispronunciation tough to say and called her. Maria or Masha or Maudy from her nickname Moury. I pitied her. What an awful name to have to transport across boarders! My little sister; Ana, had the easiest time of all. She was plain Anne- that is, only her name was plain, for she turned out to be the pale, blond “American beauty” in the family. The only Hispanic thing about her was the affectionate nick names her boyfriends sometimes gave her. Anita, or as one goofy guy used to sing to her o he tune of the banana advertisement, Anita Banana. Later, during her college years in the late 60s, there was a push to pronounce Third World names correctly. I remember calling her long distance at her group house and a roommate answering. “Can I speak to Ana?” I asked, pronouncing her name the American way. “Ana?” The man’s voice hesitated. “Oh! You must mean Ah-nah!” Our first few years in the States, though, ethnicity was not yet “in” Those were the blond, blue-eyed, bobby sock years of junior high and high school before the’ 60s ushered in peasant blouses, hoop earnings, serapes. My initial desire to be known by my correct Dominican name faded. I just wanted to be Judy and merge with the Sallys and lanes in my class. But inevitably, my accent and colouring gave me away. “So where are you from, Judy?” QUESTIONS 2.1 From which country is the author’s family? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2.2 All the members of the author’s family did not like the American pronunciation of their names apart from ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2.3 How many times has the authors’ family been to America?

Waking to the sound of her alarm clock that morning, the feeling struck her that the activities that awaited her might be there to be ignored. Sitting up in bed, she saw her course file and realized that she had a test that morning. It had completely slipped her mind. Scanning her notes, as if looking at a newspaper written in an unfamiliar language, she wondered how much she could take in during that short bus ride ahead of her. After a few minutes of desperate but hopeless revision, the hard tones of her father’s voice came from down below. “It is almost time you were off, Sarah! There is tea here if you like some.” Reluctantly, she rushed to the bathroom to wash and then quickly put on her hated school uniform. Determined not to miss her bus, on coming downstairs she headed straight for the door ignoring her father’s hurried offer of a lift. As she arrived, the double-decker bus crawled awkwardly towards the bus - stop; she had timed it to perfection, reaching it just thirty seconds before the bus. She watched as an old lady in a dirty raincoat, and three other children from her school climbed on, but to het, amazement, once the rest of the queue in front of her had disappeared onto it, she found herself making a signal to the driver to say that she was staying where she was. The big red vehicle pulled away with her still on the pavement. Within’ seconds, she had reached the end of her Street, and was walking up another that led to the edge of the village and the hill beyond. The sky was clear, and she hardly felt the cool autumn breeze as she strode along wondering about her destination. There was almost no-one about and she whistled a tune to herself as she thought about her class-mates doing their test. She anxiously considered the excuses she would make to her parents and teachers, and wondered whether she would be allowed to take it again later; but once the village was behind her, and she found herself strolling along the country lane that encircled the hill, all those worries left her. She thought suddenly about a nearby footpath that led to the foot of the hill. She had been along it several years before with her father, and she made up her mind to take it. On reaching the hill itself, she felt the urge to reach the top. It was not particularly steep, and could be climbed in any season without difficulty. The sun shone more and more brightly, and she was suddenly thankful for having forgotten her thick coat when she had left home earlier. From the long grass at the top of the hill she sat and stared at the valley below. She could see the road snaking from her village to the town where she should have been heading for. The thought suddenly came over her that the view would be beautiful in the cold months of December when there is snow. She suddenly hoped that the coming winter month would bring this chance. Were the weather to make it possible, she promised herself to return and catch that sight at the first opportunity, whatever her obligation might be on that day.

A major problem is that tankers carry a great variety of oils. Even the basic crude oil carried varies from one source to another. Therefore chemicals, or other techniques that work with one form of oil, may not be suitable for others. An additional problem is the sea conditions around the spillage. They may be rough or calm, warm or cold, salty or nearly fresh, shallow or deep. Therefore the techniques used will have different effects in each case.The earliest methods were to use straw to soak up oil, and detergents to disperse it at sea. The detergents caused all kinds of problems for marine life, and in some cases did as much damage as the oil. Later, booms were used to contain oil spills in calm waters. A string of floating booms can be placed around oil spills, or ships leaking oil, but if the water is not calm then the boom is not likely to be effective. Sometimes chemicals are used in a similar way to contain the oil in one place. Pumps are then used to remove the mass of oil to a tank. There are mechanical devices called skimmers, which pick up oil from the top of the sea, but again they are useless in rough water. Some skimmers use blocks of absorbent material, which can pick up oil and then separate it from seawater.The method, which was at first thought to be the best, was the use of chemicals. These break up the oil spills into small particles by lowering the surface tension of the oil. The oil spills are dispersed throughout the sea. However, the chemicals used have often been toxic and have killed fish, birds and plants in the sea. Concentrated in a small area, the combined effects of oil and the toxic chemicals can be disastrous. Another recent method developed is the use of micro-organisms, such as those, which eat oil in the normal marine environment. They have been used in large quantities to get rid of oil spills. However, although they cause no dangers themselves, there are limits to the quantity and types of oil they can destroy. During the Torrey canyon panic, attempts were made to burn the oil. However oil in water is normally too cold to burn properly, and is cooled down further by splashing waves. Research is continuing on methods of combating oil spills. Governments acting on behalf of their populations are backing some research. A lot of it is being undertaken by oil companies who see that they have a responsibility to the environment, and who do not want to damage their business prospects by bad public relations. Questions: In not more than 100 words, write a description of the methods used to remove oil from beaches and seas after an oil spill.Rough Copy…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Fair Copy………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….In less than 35 words, summarize the limitations of the methods used to control oil spills.

It is true that they did not make the mistake of concentrating on defense; their forwards attacked at the smallest opportunity, but the strength of the Villa players kept them in the neighbourhood of their own goal. So it continued until there was only one minute left before the end of the game. Then everyone gasped with surprise. An Arsenal back, attached by three Villa forwards, cleared the ball weakly from his attackers, sending it like a balloon twenty yards up the field, where it was received by the Villa centre half, who for the moment was not being watched by any of his opponents. Trapping the ball with his foot before it could bounce, he glanced at the goal nearby thirty yards away and seeing one clear penetrable yard of space let out a terrific right footer The aim was perfect. The Arsenal goal keeper sprang to meet the danger and as he did so, one of his backs plunged at the ball misjudged it and in doing so spoiled the view of the keeper who saw the ball pass like a streak of lightning over his arm into the net. ‘A crash of human thunder smote the air. Arms, umbrellas, hats caps and programmes flew up all round the ground, while the shouting grew louder and louder and seemed to go on forever. The Villa centre-half raced back to his own end of the field, partly carrying and partly carried by half a dozen of his teammates. A moment later the whistle blew for the re-start and then immediately for time. The score being level, an extra half hour had to be played to decide the winning team, and the first period of this started at once. It ended with no change, and the sides crossed over. Excitement grew as again the final minutes went by, and again it reached a crisis as the end approached. The game had been played with a fairness that was a credit to professional football, but now with two minutes to go, the referee, to the dismay of forty thousand spectators, awarded a penalty kick against the Villa for a foul in the penalty area. Taking no notice of any protests, he pointed to a spot twelve years from the Villa goal from which an Arsenal player was to be allowed a shot with nothing between him and the net but the Villa goalkeeper. The ball was placed on the spot, all the Villa men but the keeper being sent out of the penalty area. Taking a short run, the Arsenal player sent the ball rising with amazing speed towards the top corner of the net. The goalkeeper cleverly guessing its direction, made an upward drive with outstretched hands towards its flight, miraculously reached it with the tips of his fingers and changed its course. As it rose above the cross bar the crowd let itself go. Arsenal took their corner kick; a Villa defender headed it out of danger; the whistle went and the game was over.

Baganda HousingFloor-making was also a special occupation among the Baganda; the earthen floor was first dug up and leveled; next good earth was carried in; trodden down and stamped, then beaten with short sticks, and rubbed and beaten from time to time with young shoots of plantain-trees, so that the sap from the stem moistened the earth, and enabled the men to obtain a perfectly hard and smooth surface. On the outside of the house, all round it, a ridge of earth was made, twelve inches high, and ten inches thick stood on one foot and stamped with the other, until the earth was beaten well against at the base, tapering to a thin edge at the top. These ridges were beaten by men who did the thatch where it came to the ground, and formed a hard substance to carry off the water from the roof and prevent it from running into the house. The workmen made a polished surface to the beaten earth with their iron hoes, used as trowels, and at the doorway they made a ridge, which tapered from both sides upwards, so that it was a high rim to a saucer, and kept any water from running into the house during rain-storms. As soon as the earth of the floor dried and cracked, the men beat it again until all the cracks were filled up and finally they smeared the whole with a mixture of clay and cow dung, which made an excellent floor. The thatch over the door-way was neatly cut back by the thatcher; it was the custom to cut the under part long and the upper part shorter, the exact opposite to the English method. The floor-beaters for the king each received a hoe when the work was finished; but if they had also to level the courtyard in which a house stood the king gave them a goat in addition to the hoe; this they killed and ate on the spot before anyone went to live in the house. When chiefs wanted these men to work for them, they paid them heavily, the price being sometimes as high as a cow for making one floor. The door was made of reeds by another set of workmen who were the king’s door makers. The door-maker measured the height and breadth of the doorway with a reed, and then carried the measurements to his own house, where he made the door. He used three and sometimes four strong sticks which he placed one near the top of the door, another near the bottom and one between them; to these he stitched reeds of the necessary length, and when he had completed one side with one layer of reeds, he turned the door over and stitched a second layer to the opposite side. When the door was made for the king, the stitching had to be done with cane, but for ordinary houses bark was used. The reeds were trimmed off at the ends when the door was finished, so that it might be the right length; these doors were always made larger than the opening, so that, when they were put up, the opening was well covered both at the top and on either side. The reason plantain shoots were used to beat the new floor was A: to moisten the earth B: to make the earth hard C: to obtain a smooth surface D: to obtain a perfectly hard surface The thatch of the building A: formed a hard substance to carry off the water B: was only made by men C: touched the ground to prevent water going in the house D: was made by men other than those who stamped the earth.What kept water from running into the house during rain-storms?A: Iron hoes, used as trowels B: Thatch C: A polished surface made by workmen D: An earth ridge. In what way was the method of cutting thatch over the door different from the English method?A: There was no difference B: The thatch over the doorway was neatly cut back.C: The upper part was shorter and the under part was longerD: The upper part was longer and the lower part shorterCane doors were made A: where bark could not be used.B: where the door was to be stitched on both sides C: for the king’s house D: where two layers were required Marks for Qn 2B Total marks for Q2A) Rewrite the following sentences according to instructions without changing the original meaning Mpiima did not dare to object to her proposal (Rewrite beginning: Mpiima dared ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….“Did your father go to secondary school?” “NO” (Rewrite in reported form beginning: My headmaster…….)……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

ENDNAME:…………………………………………………………….……. STREAM:……….…….S3 ENGLISH LANGUAGE PAPER TWO (112/2)TIME: 1 ? HOURSINSTRUCTIONS: Attempt ALL questions.1.ACarefully read this passage given below and then answer the questions that follow.I don’t mind my son Toby borrowing my top coat. Sure, he looks quite ridiculous in it I mean, I have very short arms and even if I hadn’t, the arms of a strapping 18-year-old might be expected to be considerably longer than mine.Still if he doesn’t mind his wrists sticking out of my coat sleeves, then I certainly don’t nor do I care about the question of masculinity raised by the feminine appearance of the fur collar which he buttons up round his ears.So, I don’t mind his borrowing it. Where I do draw the line is when he breaks into my ear while it’s standing outside the front door, swipes the cost and disappears with it for two weeks when he runs away from home as a protest against the authoritarianism of this household (that is, me).It wouldn’t have been so bad if he had told me about the coat, then I would not have informed the police, had a visit from a police officer, and then filled in an insurance claim form.This is just one example of my lack of rights in this, my own house. I may say that when Toby walked in, bare-wristed, ears smuggled in fur, he couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I don’t need to add that he had also borrowed my suitcase, one, of a matching set, and broken the zip. “Never buy cases with zips”, he advised me sternly. “They always break”.What I want to discuss is at what point parents have the rights to draw the line between their children’s rights and their own.In common with most people in our extravagant society, we are expected to go along with the habit of keeping stock of drinks for entertaining everybody who finds himself in the house for more than five minutes. We ourselves do not drink spirits. It therefore annoys when, after an evening with friends, we come home to find a drinks party in full swing, with a dozen young people applying themselves to glasses of gin and whisky, with the odd bottle of fine claret for non-spirit drinkers thrown in. It annoys still more when the party is over and we arrive to be met by empty glasses, brimming ash-trays and the smell of stale cigarette smoke, particularly as we do not smoke.In case this sounds a light-hearted approach, make no mistake: the question of the rights of children and their friends in our house has become a major issue, ending in arguments, tears and sudden departures from home. So far there is no light at the end of this tunnel. The problem is that in putting up with their habits, lifestyles and wishes, we disturb our own.Adapted from: Ideal Home by Constance HallAnswer questions 2.1 – 2.5 on the questions paper.According to the passage, how does Toby’s mother think he would look ridiculous in the top coat?…….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………1.2Explain what the writer means by the sentence: “Nor do I care about the question of masculinity raised by the feminine appearance of the fur collar” …………………………………………………………………………………………………...……………………………………………………………………………………………..…………………………………………………………………………...……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………1.3Explain in your own words what Toby was protesting when he ran away from home.…………………………………………………………………………………………………….………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………What does the writer mean when he says: “The rights of children and their friends in our house has become a major issue”?……………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………Explain what the following phrases mean in the passage:“……lack of rights in this, my own house”……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………………….………… (ii)“…. no light at the end of this tunnel”……………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………Marks for Q. 2A2A.Re-write the following sentences according to the instructions after each, but do not change the meaning of the original sentence.2.1The only reason Atieno wouldn’t buy the ring was that it was too expensive.

A major problem is that tankers carry a great variety of oils. Even the basic crude oil carried varies from one source to another. Therefore chemicals, or other techniques that work with one form of oil, may not be suitable for others. An additional problem is the sea conditions around the spillage. They may be rough or calm, warm or cold, salty or nearly fresh, shallow or deep. Therefore the techniques used will have different effects in each case.The earliest methods were to use straw to soak up oil, and detergents to disperse it at sea. The detergents caused all kinds of problems for marine life, and in some cases did as much damage as the oil. Later, booms were used to contain oil spills in calm waters. A string of floating booms can be placed around oil spills, or ships leaking oil, but if the water is not calm then the boom is not likely to be effective. Sometimes chemicals are used in a similar way to contain the oil in one place. Pumps are then used to remove the mass of oil to a tank. There are mechanical devices called skimmers, which pick up oil from the top of the sea, but again they are useless in rough water. Some skimmers use blocks of absorbent material, which can pick up oil and then separate it from seawater.The method, which was at first thought to be the best, was the use of chemicals. These break up the oil spills into small particles by lowering the surface tension of the oil. The oil spills are dispersed throughout the sea. However, the chemicals used have often been toxic and have killed fish, birds and plants in the sea. Concentrated in a small area, the combined effects of oil and the toxic chemicals can be disastrous. Another recent method developed is the use of micro-organisms, such as those, which eat oil in the normal marine environment. They have been used in large quantities to get rid of oil spills. However, although they cause no dangers themselves, there are limits to the quantity and types of oil they can destroy. During the Torrey canyon panic, attempts were made to burn the oil. However oil in water is normally too cold to burn properly, and is cooled down further by splashing waves. Research is continuing on methods of combating oil spills. Governments acting on behalf of their populations are backing some research. A lot of it is being undertaken by oil companies who see that they have a responsibility to the environment, and who do not want to damage their business prospects by bad public relations. Questions: In not more than 100 words, write a description of the methods used to remove oil from beaches and seas after an oil spill.Rough Copy…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Fair Copy………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….In less than 35 words, summarize the limitations of the methods used to control oil spills.

It is true that they did not make the mistake of concentrating on defense; their forwards attacked at the smallest opportunity, but the strength of the Villa players kept them in the neighbourhood of their own goal. So it continued until there was only one minute left before the end of the game. Then everyone gasped with surprise. An Arsenal back, attached by three Villa forwards, cleared the ball weakly from his attackers, sending it like a balloon twenty yards up the field, where it was received by the Villa centre half, who for the moment was not being watched by any of his opponents. Trapping the ball with his foot before it could bounce, he glanced at the goal nearby thirty yards away and seeing one clear penetrable yard of space let out a terrific right footer The aim was perfect. The Arsenal goal keeper sprang to meet the danger and as he did so, one of his backs plunged at the ball misjudged it and in doing so spoiled the view of the keeper who saw the ball pass like a streak of lightning over his arm into the net. ‘A crash of human thunder smote the air. Arms, umbrellas, hats caps and programmes flew up all round the ground, while the shouting grew louder and louder and seemed to go on forever. The Villa centre-half raced back to his own end of the field, partly carrying and partly carried by half a dozen of his teammates. A moment later the whistle blew for the re-start and then immediately for time. The score being level, an extra half hour had to be played to decide the winning team, and the first period of this started at once. It ended with no change, and the sides crossed over. Excitement grew as again the final minutes went by, and again it reached a crisis as the end approached. The game had been played with a fairness that was a credit to professional football, but now with two minutes to go, the referee, to the dismay of forty thousand spectators, awarded a penalty kick against the Villa for a foul in the penalty area. Taking no notice of any protests, he pointed to a spot twelve years from the Villa goal from which an Arsenal player was to be allowed a shot with nothing between him and the net but the Villa goalkeeper. The ball was placed on the spot, all the Villa men but the keeper being sent out of the penalty area. Taking a short run, the Arsenal player sent the ball rising with amazing speed towards the top corner of the net. The goalkeeper cleverly guessing its direction, made an upward drive with outstretched hands towards its flight, miraculously reached it with the tips of his fingers and changed its course. As it rose above the cross bar the crowd let itself go. Arsenal took their corner kick; a Villa defender headed it out of danger; the whistle went and the game was over. Questions: Why did the Arsenal players keep close to their own goal during the second half and which team won?………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Why do you think the Villa centre half felt somewhat safe just before he scored and why did the Arsenal goalkeeper miss the ball?…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………What shows that the Villa players were very glad at the success of their teammate and why had an extra half hour to be played?…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Point out two things that affected the game’s temperature.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………What do the following words and phrases mean in the passage?Human thunder …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Penetrable yard of space ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Plunged at the ball ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Crisis ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Marks for Qn 2A 2.

Baganda HousingFloor-making was also a special occupation among the Baganda; the earthen floor was first dug up and leveled; next good earth was carried in; trodden down and stamped, then beaten with short sticks, and rubbed and beaten from time to time with young shoots of plantain-trees, so that the sap from the stem moistened the earth, and enabled the men to obtain a perfectly hard and smooth surface. On the outside of the house, all round it, a ridge of earth was made, twelve inches high, and ten inches thick stood on one foot and stamped with the other, until the earth was beaten well against at the base, tapering to a thin edge at the top. These ridges were beaten by men who did the thatch where it came to the ground, and formed a hard substance to carry off the water from the roof and prevent it from running into the house. The workmen made a polished surface to the beaten earth with their iron hoes, used as trowels, and at the doorway they made a ridge, which tapered from both sides upwards, so that it was a high rim to a saucer, and kept any water from running into the house during rain-storms. As soon as the earth of the floor dried and cracked, the men beat it again until all the cracks were filled up and finally they smeared the whole with a mixture of clay and cow dung, which made an excellent floor. The thatch over the door-way was neatly cut back by the thatcher; it was the custom to cut the under part long and the upper part shorter, the exact opposite to the English method. The floor-beaters for the king each received a hoe when the work was finished; but if they had also to level the courtyard in which a house stood the king gave them a goat in addition to the hoe; this they killed and ate on the spot before anyone went to live in the house. When chiefs wanted these men to work for them, they paid them heavily, the price being sometimes as high as a cow for making one floor. The door was made of reeds by another set of workmen who were the king’s door makers. The door-maker measured the height and breadth of the doorway with a reed, and then carried the measurements to his own house, where he made the door. He used three and sometimes four strong sticks which he placed one near the top of the door, another near the bottom and one between them; to these he stitched reeds of the necessary length, and when he had completed one side with one layer of reeds, he turned the door over and stitched a second layer to the opposite side. When the door was made for the king, the stitching had to be done with cane, but for ordinary houses bark was used. The reeds were trimmed off at the ends when the door was finished, so that it might be the right length; these doors were always made larger than the opening, so that, when they were put up, the opening was well covered both at the top and on either side. The reason plantain shoots were used to beat the new floor was A: to moisten the earth B: to make the earth hard C: to obtain a smooth surface D: to obtain a perfectly hard surface The thatch of the building A: formed a hard substance to carry off the water B: was only made by men C: touched the ground to prevent water going in the house D: was made by men other than those who stamped the earth.What kept water from running into the house during rain-storms?A: Iron hoes, used as trowels B: Thatch C: A polished surface made by workmen D: An earth ridge. In what way was the method of cutting thatch over the door different from the English method?A: There was no difference B: The thatch over the doorway was neatly cut back.C: The upper part was shorter and the under part was longerD: The upper part was longer and the lower part shorterCane doors were made A: where bark could not be used.B: where the door was to be stitched on both sides C: for the king’s house D: where two layers were required Marks for Qn 2B Total marks for Q2A) Rewrite the following sentences according to instructions without changing the original meaning Mpiima did not dare to object to her proposal (Rewrite beginning: Mpiima dared ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….“Did your father go to secondary school?” “NO” (Rewrite in reported form beginning: My headmaster…….)……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
