    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.
【C7】
选项
答案E
解析 空格前有“spend+一段时间”的结构，故空格处需要填入现在分词，构成spend some time(in)doing“花时间做某事”。其中m常可省略。本段首句提到新闻提供者提供新闻来源时也付出了一些有价值的东西，本句用“他们花费无数时间来使作为记者的‘我’了解联邦预算”这一具体事例加以说明。词库中的现在分词只有walking能跟后面的with搭配，walk sb．through sth．有“帮助某人度过难关”之意，代入此处表示“帮我弄明白联邦预算的细节”，符合文中语境。
