32、答案：①and②deeply③grew④tlerant⑤which⑥t see⑦t be impressed⑧a⑨is⑩exaggeratin
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了李白的浪漫主义风格形成的原因。
①考查连词。句意：他五岁时开始学习经典，十岁时开始阅读不同学派的古代哲学家，包括儒家和道教。此处连接两个谓语动词，是并列顺承关系，应用并列连词and。故填and。
②考查副词。句意：李白的浪漫主义风格也深深植根于他所处的社会和历史背景。此处修饰动词rted，应用副词deeply“深深地”，作状语。故填deeply。
③考查动词时态。句意：李白成长在唐朝最辉煌的时期，一个经济繁荣、社会稳定的时代。根据the Tang Dynasty可知，句子陈述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填grew。
④考查形容词。句意：这种开放包容的氛围，使李白自由自在地形成了自由奔放的个性，这对他的诗歌创作产生了巨大的影响。此处修饰名词atmsphere，应用形容词tlerant“包容的”，作定语。故填tlerant。
⑤考查定语从句。句意：这种开放包容的氛围，使李白自由自在地形成了自由奔放的个性，这对他的诗歌创作产生了巨大的影响。此处引导非限定性定语从句，关系词指代前面句子陈述内容，且在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
⑥考查非谓语动词。句意：考虑到李白的个人经历和时代背景，我们可以很自然地看到，李白的诗歌大多具有浪漫主义风格。此处it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。it is natural t d sth“做某事是很自然的”。故填t see。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：即使是最无知的读者也不会不被这位诗人丰富的想象力所打动。固定搭配fail t d sth.“没能做某事”，由句意“被诗人的想象力所折服”可知，应用被动语态。故填t be impressed。
⑧考查冠词。句意：天上的月亮和星星，自然景观和传说中的人物都成为他想象的载体。此处表泛指“一种载体”，应用不定冠词，vehicle是以辅音音素开头的词，应用a。故填a。
⑨考查动词时态。句意：同样令人印象深刻的是李白对强烈感情的自由表达，使他所描绘的无生命的物体充满活力，这是他与其他风景诗人的区别。根据语境可知，此处使用一般现在时，句子为部分倒装句型，主语是Li Bai’s free expressin，be动词使用is。故填is。
⑩考查名词。句意：这些特点与李白对夸张、隐喻等艺术手法的广泛运用是分不开的。此处作介词宾语，应用名词exaggeratin“夸张”，不可数名词。故填exaggeratin。
