29、An electric flying vehicle called Skai was on display yesterday near Los Angeles, California. Skai is made by Alaka'i Technologies. The vehicle has six rotors(旋翼) on top. Inside, there are seats for five passengers. To many people, Skai looks like a cross between a giant drone(无人机) and a car. Alaka'i Technologies hopes the vehicle will one day serve as a flying taxi, a cargo carrier, and an ambulance.
Other companies, such as Boeing and Airbus, are also designing electric aircraft. They are using batteries to power them. But batteries can weigh the vehicles down.
Skai uses hydrogen fuel cells to power its rotors. Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter alternative to batteries. They allow the vehicle to transport 1,000 pounds. They might also be less damaging to the environment. "It's the cleanest form of energy on the planet," Bruce Holmes told Digital Trends, a technology news website. Holmes is on the board of Alaka'i Technologies.
A test flight will take place near the company's Massachusetts headquarters. But it may be years before the autonomous aircraft is cleared to carry passengers. Skai must first meet regulations. These regulations are set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
"The technology is interesting, but the regulatory (监管的) road will be very long," Thaddeus Lightfoot said. Lightfoot is a lawyer. He helps companies deal with FAA rules.
Alaka'i Technologies is hopeful that Skai will get FAA approval to fly passengers soon. In the meantime, the company's CEO, Stephen Hanvey, says the craft could be used to transport food and water. It could also serve as a mobile cell tower in places struck by natural disasters.
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "cross" in paragraph 1?
A.mixture.
B.container.
C.equipment.
D.instrument.
【2】What can we infer about the pilotless flight of passenger vehicles?
A.It costs a lot.
B.It saves energy.
C.It is not readily available now.
D.It will soon get approved by FAA.
【3】What is the advantage of the Skai, compared with other electric aircraft?
A.It is quite light.
B.It uses batteries.
C.It transports food and water.
D.It lands autonomously.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Car with wings.
B.Car of less weight.
C.Car with hydrogen fuel.
D.Car in the sky.
