Dear teacher, Could you please say more about the meaning of"appeal?" Thank you. Let's look at the many ways we can use the word "appeal". As a verb,"appeal"means making a request,often in official situations.Gencrally,we do not usc"appeal"for everyday requests.For example,we would not say. I appeal to you to get some milk at the store. Appealing We can change the meaning of"appeal"by making it an adjective.One way to do this is to usc the -ing ending. Consider the following examples: Her dress looks really appealing. 高二英语第2页（超面 That argument is appealing to many voters.

Using"appeal"in the law "Appeal"is also oftcn uscd in legal matters-both as a noun or a verb.As a noun,it means a formal request to a court to review a decision by another court.If one court accepts the other's request,we can say the court "granted"the appeal.If the court rejects,we can say the court"denied"it. The following example shows"appeal"being used as a verb in legal English: The defense team will likely appeal the decision. An adjective form of "appeal"is also used in the lcgal system.The adjective "appellate"describes a kind of court that deals with cases that have been appealed. 21.Which content is NOT mentioned about"appeal?

B Today rocket launches and space missions are common.But in the early 1900s,space travel seemed likc a dream. One of the most influential people in the field of rocket science was American Robert Goddard (1882-1945).The American space agency NASA describes him as"the father of modem rocket propulsion ()" Goddard once said that"the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow".His scientific work gave hope to many dreams about space travel.He turned some of those dreams into reality. Over one hundred years ago,Goddard carried out studies and tests of rocket engines.He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels:chemicals that formed a hard substance.In 1925,be made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel.The next year.he successfully launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket. Many historians consider liquid-fuel rocket nlight to be as important as the first airplane flight by the American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright.Goddard's work proved that machines could travel outside of Earth's atmosphere and into space. During his carly research,he received money and support from the US Smithsonian Institution.The Smithsonian published several reports about his efforts. 高二英语第3页（共领D H One publication in 1919,called A Method of Reaching Exrreme Alritdes,wrote about his search for ways to send weather recording instruments higher than balloons could fly.It described how be developed the mathematical theories for rocket flight In that report,Goddard also suggested the possibility of a rocket someday reaching the moon.At the 8 time,there was a big dispute in the press about this claim.Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that secmed so impossible. Many of Goddard's ideas are still used in rocket development So,in a way,every rocket that flies today could be considered a Goddard rocket. 24.What makes NASA highly praise Goddard?

C.His first book about his study was published in 1926. D.He launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket in 1925. The bald eagle is a symbol of the US.An image of the bird is on the flag and scal (of the US president,the seal of the US Supreme Court,military insignia,as well as the dollar bill.Even so,the bird has had its ups and downs.
