77. How do the airlines expect to prevent commercial plane crashes? Studies have shown that pilot error contributes to two-thirds of all such crashes. To address this problem, the airline have upgraded their training programs by increasing the hours of classroom instruction and emphasizing communication skills in the cockpit. But it is unrealistic to expect such measures to compensate for pilots’ lack of actual flying time. Therefore, the airlines should rethink their training approach to reducing commercial crashes.

Which one of the following is an assumption upon which the argument depends?

A.Training programs can eliminate pilot errors.

B.Commercial pilot routinely undergo additional training throughout their careers.

C.The number of airline crashes will decrease if pilot training programs focus on increasing actual flying time.

D. Lack of actual flying time is an important contributor to pilot error in commercial plane crashes.

E. Communication skills are not important to pilot training programs.

我认为C更正确，它架起了 commercial crashes和lack of actual flying time 之间的桥梁。

用not +weaken 的方法，也正确呀。

选C错的原因是OUT OF SCOPE。它架的桥是commercial crashes. 而原文是围绕pilot error。PROGRAM要解决的问题也是PILOT ERROR。TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM 指的是PILOT ERROR
