    The difference between "writer" and "reporter" or "journalist" isn’t that the journalist reports—she【C1】________ sources, calls people, takes them out to lunch, and【C2】________ acts as an intermediary between her audience and the world of experts. The journalist also writes, of course, but anybody can write. But few can get their calls【C3】________ by key congressmen, top academics, important CEOs. That is the powerful advantage that the journalist has over her audience: She’s got sources and they don’t.
    If the transaction between the journalist and the audience is that the journalist has the time, talent, and【C4】________ to clearly communicate the ideas of newsmakers and experts, what then is the transaction between the journalist and those newsmakers and experts? After all, the journalist, and her institution, are profiting, hopefully handsomely, off their contribution to the enterprise. It’s not going too far to say that the whole business would【C5】________ without their participation. Journalists without sources are, well, mere writers.
    Moreover, those sources are giving up something of value. They’re giving up【C6】________, for one thing. Some fine folks have spent countless hours【C7】________ me through the details of the federal budget. They’re giving up information that, in other【C8】________, people pay them for—consider a CEO who gives paid lectures or a life-long academic at a private college. They are exposing themselves to considerable professional risk, both by telling the journalist things they’re not supposed to share and simply by making themselves vulnerable to being【C9】________ in public.
    So how does the journalist compensate these sources? Well, the natural answer in a market economy would be that the sources to get paid. But, in a brilliant maneuver, journalism as a profession has deemed it【C10】________to pay sources for information.
【C1】
选项
答案O
解析 空格处需要填入动词第三人称单数和后面的calls、takes和acts并列。下文提到calls people，takes them out to lunch可知破折号后描述记者的工作内容，词库中第三人称单数的动词有designs和develops。新闻来源只能是被发掘、被开发，而不能被设计出来，故develops符合要求。
