3 .
根据 “There were five scared baby cats crying together.” 和 “He decided to save this brave mother cat and her (C) family.” 可知,有五只受惊的小猫,消防员决定救这只勇敢的猫妈妈和她的宝宝们。所以此处 family 指的是小猫们,故填 baby cats/five (scared) baby cats 。
4 .
“very difficult to believe” 的意思是 “ 很难相信 ” ,与文中 “unbelievable 难以置信的 ” 语意相近,故填 unbelievable 。
