【解析】

文章大意：文章主要介绍冬奥会的历史，冬奥会举办的时间和出版邮票纪念冬奥会。

1.根据forming a unit by itself；not joined to something else意为“单独形成一个单位；不与其他事物结合”可知，是对单词separate“单独的”的解释，故填separate。

2.根据to write or draw a symbol，line，etc，on something in order to give information about it“在某物上写或画一个符号、线等以提供有关它的信息”可知，是对单词mark“做标记”的解释，故填mark。

3.句意：许多家长也喜欢这些邮票，因为他们想为孩子收集。

考查同义句。want to do sth.=feel like doing sth.意为“想要做某事”，由wanted可知，时态是一般过去时，所以要用feel的过去式是felt，故填(1). felt (2). like。

4.细节理解题。根据文章第一段倒数第一、二行“To celebrate the fourth Winter Olympic Games,a group of stamps were published in Germany in November,1935”“为庆祝第四届冬季奥运会，德国于1935年11月发行了一组邮票”可知，应该是在德国，故填In Germany。

5.细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一行“The Winter Olympics,which is also called the White Olympics”“冬季奥运会，也叫白色奥运会”，故填The White Olympics。

6.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一、二行“Stamp collectors liked them very much. Many parents also liked the stamps because they wanted to collect them for their children”“集邮者非常喜欢它们。许多父母也喜欢这些邮票，因为他们想为他们的孩子收集它们”，故填Stamp collectors and many parents。
