问题 资料：A man looking for art for his new home has won a $1 million Picasso painting with a $138 raffle ticket. Jeffrey Gonano told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review he's not sure he'll ever hang the masterpiece in his home in Wexford, in western Pennsylvania, given its value. The 25-year-old Gonano, who works for his family's fire sprinkler business, learned Wednesday that his ticket had won the Paris raffle. Organizers say nearly 50,000 tickets were sold worldwide, for 100 euros apiece, to benefit a Lebanese charity.The 1914 work, "Man in the Opera Hat," dates from Spanish master Pablo Picasso's cubist period. Picasso died in 1973.Gonano said he wants to keep the artwork, which features vivid shapes in opaque gouache paint."Maybe I'll lend it to a museum and let them put it on display rather than putting it in a vault, so other people can enjoy it," he told the newspaper. "It all depends. I don't know what the taxes are or anything."Gonano's girlfriend, Gloria Spataro, said he liked the odds in the contest and felt optimistic. Nonetheless, she presumed he was joking when he said he'd won."He thought the odds were actually pretty good compared to something like a lottery," said Spataro, of Pittsburgh. "He said, 'This will be my only chance to actually own something like this.'"The raffle raised about $3.5 million for the International Association for the Safeguard of Tyr, a UNESCO heritage site, said Reem Chalabi, an education coordinator with the group.Gonano and Spataro had recently begun to explore art galleries, and she had bought him a photograph by a Buddhist artist for Christmas."I'm glad I actually gave it to him before," she said, "because if I gave it to him afterward, that would look pretty insignificant compared to a Picasso."Which of the following will most probably happen next?A.Gonano will break up with Spatoro.B.Gonano will sell the Picasso Painting.C.Gonano will move to France.D.Gonano will put the painting on display.
选项 A.Gonano will break up with Spatoro.
B.Gonano will sell the Picasso Painting.
C.Gonano will move to France.
D.Gonano will put the painting on display.

解析 本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】most probably; happen next
【主题句】第3自然段"Maybe I'll lend it to a museum and let them put it on display rather than putting it in a vault, so other people can enjoy it," he told the newspaper. "It all depends. I don't know what the taxes are or anything."他在接受报纸采访时说：“也许我会把它借给博物馆，让他们把它放在展览上，而不是把它放在一个地下室里，这样其他人就可以享受它了。”“这要看情况而定。我不知道税或者其他的是多少。”
【解析】本题的问题是“接下来最可能发生的是以下哪一项？”。选项A意为“Gonano将与Spatoro分手”；选项B意为“Gonano将出售毕加索绘画作品”；选项C意为“Gonano将移居法国”；选项D意为“Gonano将展出这幅画”。根据主题句可知，他最可能把画放在博物馆展出，故选D。
