Since astronomers confirmed the presence of planets beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, humans (21)  (wonder) how many could harbor life.

Our galaxy holds at least an (24) (estimate) 300 million of these potentially habitable worlds, based on even the most conservative interpretation of the results in a new study to be published in The Astronomical Journal.
This research helps us understand the potential for these planets (25) (support) life. This is an essential part of astrobiology, the study of life's origins and future in our universe.

That's (30) the research team took a new approach.

Melbourne: So lovely. So... livable.
Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) releases a list of 140 cities and ranks them in terms of their “livability”. Melbourne (21) ___________ (top) the list for the fifth year running.
The rankings rate “relative comfort” for more than 30 factors across five categories: stability, health care, education, infrastructure (基础设施), and culture and environment.
