The journalist also writes, of course, but anybody can write.【C3】______few can get their calls returned by key congressmen, top academics, important CEOs. That is the powerful advantage that the journalist has【C4】______ her audience: She’s got sources and they don’t【C5】______the transaction between the journalist and the audience is that the journalist has the time, talent, and【C6】______to clearly communicate the ideas of newsmakers and experts, 【C7】______then is the transaction between the journalist and those newsmakers and experts? 【C8】______the journalist, and her institution, are profiting, hopefully handsomely, off their contribution to the enterprise.

【C11】
选项 A、mere
B、true
C、bare
D、simple
答案A
解析 填入的形容词修饰writer。上文提到，记者区别于一般作家的主要优势在于他们可以接触到新闻来源。那么如果一个记者没有了消息来源，她就跟作家差不多了，即她就只能被认为是一个作家了。A项mere“仅仅”填入此空，与上文语义吻合，为本题答案。
