1.

女：我听说你升职了，你一定很高兴吧。

男：那倒不是，新办公室很大，但是工作量也加倍了。

问：从对话中我们能得到男人的什么信息？

答：女人问男人升职是不是很高兴，从男人回答的not really判断出，他并不是那么高兴，后面也提到工作量加倍，可想而知，男人对提升这件事并不是很兴奋。因此正确答案为D，他对新职位的反应不是很兴奋。A项意思相反，B、C两项未提及。

2.

女：我不知道明天的派对要怎么办。

男：如果你不想去，那就别去了。不过如果你打算去的话，我很乐意载你一程。

问：从对话中我们能得到什么信息？

答：男人的话中清楚地说到送女人一程的提议，因此正确答案为D，男人提出开车送女人去派对。A项，从男人提出送女人去派对得知，女人是去参加派对，而不是举行派对，因此排除。B项，未提及。C项，女人说不知道派对要怎么办，但是并未说具体的事情，不能确切得知女人是在为不知道如何去派对苦恼，因此排除。
