41.0n the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired，Americans turned to foreign sculptors，as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina，commissioned the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt.
(句子主干是Americans turned to foreign sculptors;两个when都引导定语从句：occasion when…，1770's when…;as(in the 1770's)的意思是“正如”)
在少数情况下，当需要一件精美的雕刻品时，就像1770年纽约与南卡罗来纳的查尔斯顿城委托英国人约瑟夫·威尔顿制造威廉·皮特的大理石雕像一样，美国人求助于外国人。
42.Add to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans—originally trained as stonemasons，carpenters，or cabinetmakers--attacked the medium from which they were to make their images，and one understands more fully the development of sculpture made in the United States in the late eighteenth century.
(add to this the timidity…=add the timidity…to this为祈使句，相当于一个条件句：if one adds to this the timidity…)
这个再加上没有受过学校教育的艺人——他们最初是被训练为石匠、木匠或家具木工的——对待他们要制作成雕像的媒介物的胆怯，使人更充分地了解18世纪晚期美国雕刻艺术的发展。
43.Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy，desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height，and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant's gazelles.
(what引导的从句作rise to的宾语)
沙漠哺乳动物并不试图将体温控制得很低，因为这么做将会涉及水和能量的消耗，而是允许体温上升到平常是高烧的温度——有人在格兰特羚羊身上曾测到高达46摄氏度的体温。
44.Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can charge their tenants in rent.
(whereby=by which，引导定语从句，表示手段)
租金管制是政府借以告诉房主他们可以收取多少租金的系统。
45.They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's，which，combined with California's rapid population growth，pushed housing prices，as well as rents, to record levels.
(which引导非限定性定语从句)
它们受到了20世纪70年代通货膨胀的刺激，这次通货膨胀与加利福尼亚人口的迅速增长结合在一起，将房价与租金推到了创纪录的水平。
