　　Important sentences:
　　1. His dream was encouraged by his parents as well as his older sister and younger brother. (L12)  【译    文】他的梦想得到了父母以及姐弟的鼓励。
　　【分析讲解】这是一个含有被动结构的简单句, 其中as well as表示“也，还”。
　　当as well as结构与其他名词一起作主语时，谓语的单复数与其前面的名词保持一致。例如：John as well as his parents is going to Beijing for a holiday.（主语为John）
　　2. They not only studied all the subjects required to be an astronaut, but also learnt survival skills and all about how spaceships and rockets are built. (L17)     
　　【译    文】他们不仅学习了作为一名宇航员所必须学的所有科目，而且还学习了生存技巧以及宇宙飞船和火箭的建造原理。
　　【分析讲解】这是一个由not only ... but also连接的并列句。当否定词not only置于句首时，这一分句要用部分倒装。(前倒后不倒)例如：
　　Not only are you interested in baseball，but also I begin to show an interest in it.
　　Not only did they bring snacks and drint they also brought cards for entertainment when they had a picnic in the forest.
　　3. In September 2003, only three out of the 14 candidates were picked for the Chinese space adventure. （L21）
　　1) pick “挑选”
　　2) pict “挑选出来”(费了心思或精力后才挑选出来的)
　　Eg: It took me a long time to pict Judy from the crowd.
　　3) pick up v. 捡起,拾起；顺路接，搭载; 收听节目；（无意）学会
　　① Mary picp the wallet on the ground．捡起
　　② Now let's figure out whose car will stop to picp．搭载
　　③ He picp some French while he was away on a business trip in Paris. 偶然习得
　　④ I’d like to listen to VOA program but sometimes I can’t picp on my radio.收听(节目)
　　4. He took all kinds of tests to prove he was fit for this important task.（L22）
　　(1) vt. 证明/证实 + n. / pron. （代词）/ that…
　　prove sth. to sb./ prove to sb. sth. 他向同学们证明他是诚实的。
　　He proved his honesty to the students.
　　He proved to the students that he was honest.
　　(2) Link V. “（系动词） 证明是/表明是”  prove (to be) + n. / pron.
　　The operation on her broken leg proved to be a complete success/ completely successful. (完全成功)
　　5. Although Yang did not actually get the best scores on every single test, it was his high scores on the psychological tests that finally won him the status of China’s first astronaut. (L23)
　　【译    文】实际上杨利伟并没有在每项测试中都得到最高分，但他各项心理测试所得的高分最终为他赢得了中国首席宇航员的席位。
　　【分析讲解】这是一个主从复合句。 although引导让步状语从句，主句为强调句, 其结构为: It is/ was + 被强调成分 + that (who) + 句子其他部分,可以强调主语、宾语、表语、状语等。
