Quvenzhane

"It received four Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Actress.
The nomination made 9-year-old Quvenzhane the youngest actress to ever be considered.
Even though she didn't win,movie offers still pouring in."


I can understand the middle of this paragraph by the context and key wolds.
"這次題名使得9歲的Quvenzhane 成為史上最年輕被題名的演員"

But I don't know how to use the word "to" in this case.
Are there any example in similar cases?
or
Can it be described in grammar?   

I think I will write this sentence in this way=>    
"The nomination made 9-year-old Quvenzhane being the youngest actress that was considered ever" 

Expedition across Attora mountains

 groups of friends actually joined us for three-week stints and others just linked up with us. Some, whom we hadn't met before the trip at all, tagged on for short bursts - people from the area - who just came along for the ride. But outside the major visitor areas like Toubkal we only met one other group of travellers like ourselves in the whole 96 days.

這段話前段看得出來是
"有些朋友短期加入我們的活動(三星期)"
然後後面就看不懂了.....(黑體字的那段)

只知道最後一句是
"但在96天的旅程中,除了在主要的景點,如Toubkal外,我們只遇到過一組像我們一樣的2隊伍"
