Insurance companies provide a service to the community by protecting it against expected and unexpected disasters. Before an insurance company will agree to【B1】______anything, it collects accurate figures about the【B2】______. It knows, for example, that the risk of a man being killed in a plane accident is less than the risk he【B3】______in crossing a busy road. This【B4】______it to quote low figures for travel insurance. Sometimes the risk may be high,as in motor-racing or mountaineering. Then the company【B5】______a much higher price.【B6】______too many climbers have accidents, the price rises still further. If the majority of climbers fall off mountains,the company will【B7】______to insure them.
An ordinary householder may wish to protect his home against fire or his【B8】______against burglary. A shop keeper may wish to insure against【B9】______. In【B10】______cases,the company will check its statistics and quote a premium. If it is【B11】______,it may refuse to quote. If it insures a shop and then receives a suspicious【B12】______,it will【B13】______the claim as a means of protecting itself against false claims. It is not unknown for a businessman in debt to burn down his own premises so that he can claim much money from his insurance company. He can be sure that the fire will be investigated most carefully. Insurance companies also【B14】______insurance against shipwreck or disaster in the air. Planes and ships are very expensive, so a large【B15】______is charged,but a【B16】______is given to companies with an accident-free record.
Every week insurance companies receive premium【B17】______from customers. These payments can form a very large total【B18】______millions of dollars. The company does not leave the money in the bank. It【B19】______in property, shares, farms and even antique paintings and stamps. Its aim is to obtain the best possible return on its investment. This is not so greedy as it may seem, since this is one way by which it can deep its premiums down and continue to make a profit【B20】______being of service to the community.
【B15】
选项
A、premium
B、price
C、relief
D、property
答案
A
解析
本句意思是:飞机和轮船的保险金比较高。如果选price,该词能和charge搭配,但不能和large连用,所以应排除掉。relief意为“救济金”。property意为“财产”。只有premium是“保险金”的意思。
