Glves and hats will prevent the lss f bdy heat.(如果你要去個可能會有暴風雪的地方，合適的衣服是關(guān)鍵戴上手套和帽子，更重要的是，穿有層次感的衣服。手套和帽子可以防止身體熱量的散失)”可知，本段主要說明了暴風雪天氣應(yīng)該穿什么樣的衣服。故A選項“外面的衣服應(yīng)該是防水的”符合語境，故選A。(5)題詳解:根據(jù)上文“What if yu end up in a wrst-case circumstance? There are tw things t fcus n: Stay warm and stay still. lt's ill-advised t walk yurself ut f a blizzard.Navigatin(導航)is tugh.(如果你在最壞的情況下結(jié)束了呢?有兩件事需要注意:保持溫暖和保持靜止。從暴風雪中走出來是不明智的。導航很困難)”以及后文“S cnserve yur energy. Find shelter. lf there is nne t find build a snw cave if there's enugh snw. Wait it ut.(所以保存你的能量。找到避難所。如果沒有，如果有足夠的雪，就建一個雪洞。等它過去)”可知，后文提到要保存能量，推測本句是在說明能量消耗的情況。故B選項“而且，當你冷的時候，你會消耗更多的能量”符合語境，故選B。
