【分析】
做完这篇完形填空，第一步先通读全文，快速把握故事核心：本文讲述世界名画《祈祷之手》背后的感人故事，一对家境贫寒的兄弟都热爱艺术，约定抛硬币决定一人下矿务工，赚钱供另一人先去艺术院校学绘画，等前者学成后再支持后者求学，最终学成的詹姆斯发现多年矿工生涯已经毁掉了兄弟的手，无法再拿起画笔，于是创作了传世名作纪念兄弟的付出。第二步逐空解题时，不要孤立看单个句子，要依托上下文给出的线索，比如后文反复出现的“art college”“paintings”这类原词提示，结合词义辨析、固定搭配、逻辑关系逐一排除错误选项，选出最贴合语境的答案，最后再通读验证一遍逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
1. 考查名词辨析。根据后文多处出现的“study at the art college”“his paintings”等提示，能看出两个孩子热爱的是绘画，painting（绘画）符合语境，swimming游泳、singing唱歌、dancing跳舞均无对应线索，故选A。
2. 考查代词辨析。前文明确提到是两个孩子，语境是家里太穷没法同时把两个都送去艺校，both指代“两者都”符合要求，any任意一个、all指代三者及以上全部、neither两者都不符合语境，故选C。
3. 考查动词短语辨析。搭配空后的a plan，语境是两人多次讨论后想出了方案，work out有“想出、制定出”的含义，look out小心、take out取出、go out外出均不符合，故选B。
4. 考查副词辨析。后文提到进入煤矿，煤矿位于地下，固定搭配go down into the mines表示下矿，故选D。
5. 考查动词辨析。语境是输的人靠下矿赚的钱供兄弟上大学，support表示“支持、供养”符合语义，agree同意、follow跟随、let让均不符合，故选A。
6. 考查名词辨析。对应前文提到的送兄弟去艺术院校上学的约定，等先上学的人完成学业后，就轮到支持另一个人去大学学习，college符合语境，故选C。
7. 考查形容词比较级辨析。前文提到James全心全意投入学习，后文提到他靠画作赚了很多钱，说明他的画比大部分老师的作品还要好，better更好符合逻辑，故选A。
8. 考查动词辨析。语境是他在艺术院校学习，等到毕业的时候，他的画作已经能为他赚不少钱，graduate毕业符合语义，故选B。
9. 考查连词辨析。语境是James回到家的时候，家人为他举办了庆功宴，用when引导时间状语从句，表示“当……的时候”，故选B。
10. 考查动词辨析。根据常识，起身敬酒需要从座位上站起来，stand up表示起立，符合语境，故选D。
11. 考查名词辨析。全文的两个主角是兄弟二人，这里James敬酒的对象就是为他付出的弟弟Jack，也就是他的兄弟，故选A。
12. 考查名词辨析。语境是James告诉Jack现在可以去艺校了，他一直以来的求学梦想就要实现了，dream表示梦想，come true是固定搭配“实现”，故选C。
13. 考查副词辨析。这里Jack是温柔平和地告诉兄弟自己的手已经没法画画了，没有负面情绪，softly温和地符合语境，happily开心地、surprisedly惊讶地、angrily生气地均不符合，故选D。
14. 考查形容词辨析。Jack提到多年矿工生涯已经严重损伤了他的手，现在甚至握不住杯子，说明想要再去学画画已经太晚了，late晚的符合语境，故选B。
15. 考查名词辨析。文末点出这幅画的名字是《The Praying Hands》（祈祷之手），说明James画的是兄弟那双朝向天空的手，故选D。
