　　Anyone who has had a long­term disease knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be __1__ (especial) true of children. They may feel __2__ (leave) out.

　　篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。病人由于长期患病在家，可能会感觉很孤独，对于孩子更是如此。本文介绍了一种机器人，可以帮助患病的孩子减少孤独感。

　　1．especially　考查词性转换。设空处修饰形容词true，要用副词，故填especially。

　　2．left　考查非谓语动词。leave out表示"遗漏；忽略"，与主语they构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词作表语。故填left。

　　3．illness　考查词性转换。long­term为形容词，意为"长期的"，后应接名词。故填illness。

　　4．or　考查连词。根据句中的whether可知应填or，whether ... or ... 为固定搭配，"无论......还是......"。

5．are　考查主谓一致和动词的时态。本句中，who引导定语从句，先行词为the scientists，故从句谓语动词应用复数形式；全文客观地介绍一种机器人，应用一般现在时。故填are。
