An electric flying vehicle called Skai was tested yesterday near Los Angeles，California，the USA. It is made by Alaka’i Technologies. It has six rotors（旋翼）on top. Inside，there are seats for five passengers. Skai looks like a cross between a giant drone and a car. Alaka’i Technologies hopes it will 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（氢燃料电池）to power its rotors. Hydrogen fuel cells are lighter than batteries. They allow the vehicle to transport 1，000 pounds. They might also be less polluted to the environment. “It’s the cleanest form of energy on the planet，” Bruce Holmes told Digital Trends，a technology news website. Bruce Holmes is on the board of Alaka’i Technologies.
The test flight took place near the company’s Massachusetts headquarters. But it may be years before the aircraft is cleared to carry passengers. The electric flying vehicle must first meet regulations（法规）. These regulations are set by the Federal Aviation Administration（FAA）.
Thaddeus Lightfoot said，“The technology is interesting，but
Alaka’i Technologies is hopeful that Skai will get FAA’s approval（同意）to fly passengers soon. At the same time，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. What will Skai probably serve as in the future?
2. Why does Skai use hydrogen fuel cells instead of batteries to power its rotors?
3. Please complete the sentence below with proper words or phrases.

Thaddeus Lightfoot said，“The technology is interesting，but
there is still a long way to go before Skai meets FAA regulations/rules
.” Lightfoot is a lawyer. He helps companies navigate(应对)FAA rules.Alaka’i Technologies is hopeful that Skai will get FAA’s approval（同意）to fly passengers soon. At the same time，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. What will Skai probably serve as in the future?
It will serve as a flying taxi, a cargo carrier and an ambulance.
2. Why does Skai use hydrogen fuel cells instead of batteries to power its rotors?
Because hydrogen fuel cells are lighter than batteries and they might also be less polluted to the environment.
3. Please complete the sentence below with proper words or phrases.
The technology is interesting，but
there is still a long way to go before Skai meets FAA regulations/rules
.答案：1. It will serve as a flying taxi, a cargo carrier and an ambulance.
2. Because hydrogen fuel cells are lighter than batteries and they might also be less polluted to the environment.
3. there is still a long way to go before Skai meets FAA regulations/rules(答案不唯一，言之有理即可)

一款名为“斯凯”（Skai）的电动飞行交通工具昨日在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶附近进行了测试。它由阿拉凯科技公司（Alaka’i Technologies）制造。它的顶部有六个旋翼。内部有五个乘客的座位。“斯凯”看起来像是巨型无人机和汽车的结合体。阿拉凯科技公司希望它能充当飞行出租车、货运载具和救护车。
其他公司，如波音公司和空中客车公司，也在设计电动飞机。它们使用电池为其提供动力。但电池会使飞行器变重。
“斯凯”使用氢燃料电池为其旋翼提供动力。氢燃料电池比电池轻。它们能让该飞行器运输1000磅的货物。它们对环境的污染也可能更小。“这是地球上最清洁的能源形式，”布鲁斯·霍姆斯告诉科技新闻网站“数字趋势”。布鲁斯·霍姆斯是阿拉凯科技公司的董事会成员。
试飞在该公司位于马萨诸塞州的总部附近进行。但要让这架飞机获准搭载乘客，可能还需要数年时间。这款电动飞行交通工具必须首先符合法规要求。这些法规由美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）制定。
撒迪厄斯·莱特富特说：“这项技术很有趣，但在‘斯凯’符合美国联邦航空管理局的法规要求之前，还有很长的路要走。”莱特富特是一名律师。他帮助企业应对美国联邦航空管理局的法规要求。
阿拉凯科技公司希望“斯凯”能尽快获得美国联邦航空管理局的批准，搭载乘客飞行。与此同时，该公司首席执行官斯蒂芬·汉维表示，这种飞行器可以用来运输食物和水。它还可以在遭受自然灾害的地区充当移动信号塔。
1. “斯凯”未来可能会充当什么角色？
它将充当飞行出租车、货运载具和救护车。
2. 为什么“斯凯”使用氢燃料电池而不是电池来为其旋翼提供动力？
因为氢燃料电池比电池轻，而且它们对环境的污染也可能更小。
3. 请用适当的单词或短语完成下面的句子。
这项技术很有趣，但在“斯凯”符合美国联邦航空管理局的法规要求之前，还有很长的路要走。
