1b 完形填空
Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, flying over crowded city streets in the rush hour, or getting where you want to go far 1 than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be 2 to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
An air taxi is a small aircraft—something like a 3 between a helicopter(直升机) and a drone(无人机)—that can carry 4 from place to place. Air taxis don’t need a long runway as 5 do. They can go straight up and down, 6 a helicopter.
In June, 2023, the FAA—the government organization in the USA— 7 a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxis. Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. But that was the 8 time they tested a taxi built in a factory. Before that, all 9 taxis were made by hand.
By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for 10 . Joby also expects their air taxis to 11 a ride-sharing service in the air. But there’s still a lot to do before air taxis become 12 . For one thing, governments need to make 13 about where, when, and how these taxis can fly. And as exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have 14 about them, such as the noises and the cost.
Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be a popular way of 15 in the future. The FAA says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”
