【分析】
本题为短文选词填空题，解题思路如下：1. 通读全文，明确文章主旨（围绕“朋友应相似还是不同”展开的两种观点）；2. 分析每个空格的句子成分、所需词性，结合上下文语境及方框内给出的单词，同时注意词形变化（如名词复数、动词ing形式、物主代词等）；3. 遵循“每空一词、每词仅用一次”的要求，逐一匹配空格。
【解析】
36. 空格前有不定冠词a(n)，需填名词，结合语境“好朋友像一面镜子”，选方框内的mirror；
37. 空格后是名词friends，需填形容词性物主代词，方框内的they变their，修饰friends；
38. 空格前有形容词similar，与interests并列，需填名词复数，方框内的hobby变hobbies；
39. 空格前是介词about，需填名词，方框内的history符合语境“关于历史的书”；
40. 空格后是名词books，需填形容词，方框内的interesting修饰books，意为“有趣的书”；
41. 空格前有情态动词should，需填动词原形，方框内的respect符合“尊重彼此的差异”；
42. 固定搭配be different from，意为“与……不同”，填方框内的different；
43. 空格前是系动词is，需填形容词，结合语境“认识新朋友很有趣”，填方框内的fun；
44. 固定搭配make mistakes（犯错），空格前有be动词，需填现在分词making，构成现在进行时；
45. 固定搭配be glad to do sth.，需填动词原形，方框内的have符合语境“拥有这样的朋友”。
【答案】
36. mirror 37. their 38. hobbies 39. history 40. interesting 41. respect 42. different 43. fun 44. making 45. have

我知道的含有-ing后缀修饰物的形容词有：

interesting; amazing, boring, exciting…

【分析】首先，名词变形容词时，部分名词可直接加-ing构成描述事物特征的形容词，interest对应的形容词形式需直接加-ing；其次，以-ing结尾的形容词多用来修饰事物，这类词汇需日常积累常见的例子。
【解析】第一空，名词interest变形容词，直接加-ing得到interesting；第二空，列举符合要求的以-ing后缀修饰物的常见形容词，如amazing、boring、exciting等。
【答案】interesting; amazing, boring, exciting…
【知识点】名词变形容词、形容词后缀-ing
【点评】本题考查英语词汇的构词法及常见-ing形容词的积累，属于基础词汇考点，侧重基础词汇的掌握。
