【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在冬季室外锻炼给人们身心带来的益处，鼓励读者走出去进行体育锻炼。

1.根据上文Getting up in a cold winter morning is even a difficult thing to do and doing some exercise outdoors seems a tough task.(在寒冷的冬天早晨起床甚至是一件困难的事情，做一些户外运动似乎是一个艰难的任务)讲述了寒冷的冬季使得人们不愿意进行室外锻炼，而下面几段讲述了冬季室外锻炼的益处。由此可推知，空处表达的是冬季室外锻炼有诸多益处。故E选项“然而，冬天在户外跑步实际上有很多好处”符合上下文语境，故选E。

2.根据上文Cold winter weather is a common excuse for people to get lazy and stay indoors. Some people also eat a whole lot when it’s cold outside.可知寒冷的冬季天气是人们懒散呆在室内的常见借口。有些人在外面冷的时候也会吃很多。由此可知，本句承接上文说明冬季不同的人在室内所做的事，上一句中的“Some people also eat”与 G 项中的 “Other people…”前后呼应。故F选项“与此同时，其他人则倾向于整天看电视或长时间睡觉”符合上下文语境，故选F。

3.根据后文When the temperatures are freezing and low, the body’s metabolism will also slow down and the only way to promote blood circulation is to do some exercise like running.可知当气温很低的时候，身体的新陈代谢也会减慢，促进血液循环的唯一方法就是做一些运动，比如跑步。由此可知，空处是第四段的主旨句，本段主要讲述了冬季锻炼可以使身体健康保持平衡。故B选项“户外运动对心脏有益”符合上下文语境，故选B。

4.根据上文Having depression or a sad mood is common during the winter months.可知在冬季，抑郁或情绪低落是很常见的。由此可知，空前讲到在冬季人们容易情绪低落，本句承接上文说明这些情绪变化对人们的影响。故D选项“这些情绪的变化会导致人们在寒冷的冬季感到沮丧”符合上下文语境，故选D。

5.根据上文Running activities basically help the body become healthy and strong regardless of indoors or outdoors. The additional thing is that the body needs extra work to knock back the freezing temperatures.可知无论是在室内还是室外，跑步活动基本上都能帮助身体变得健康强壮。另外，身体需要做额外的工作来恢复冰点温度。由此可知，本段是在总结文章提到的跑步的益处，对照文章结构可知，本句对应到上一段中“锻炼使人更快乐”。故C选项“跑步锻炼使人更健康、更快乐”符合上下文语境，故选C。
