2.on purpose；in order to

3.entirely；face to face

4.make use of

5.gave a separate identity

【解析】

1.…癡狂/狂熱”：grown/been so crazy about . “曾經(jīng)有一段時間…”：there was a time when…

2.on purpose，根據(jù)下文我要好好看一看月亮，所以我是“故意”熬到十一點半的�！盀榱俗觥�”in order to.

3.黑夜、雨夜、風(fēng)天、閃電云，讓我“徹底”沉浸在它們的能量之中”，故副詞選用entirely；第二句句意：“這是我一年半以來，第一次‘面對面地’看到夜晚�！保�故使用face to face（面對面）。

4.make use of：“利用，使用”，該句句意：“這些移民豐富了英語，特別是它的詞匯。所以到17世紀(jì)，Shakespeare能夠使用比之前任何時候都更為寬泛的詞匯了。”

5.后者體現(xiàn)了美國英語拼寫的不同特色�！�，故該空正確答案為gave a separate identity.
