【2】细节理解题。根据“Two years later, a young priest named John Harvard died. He left his books and a lot of land to the university. Then, the university changed its name to Harvard.”可知叫John Harvard的人给大学留下很多书和土地，因此大学改名叫哈佛。故选C。

【3】推理判断题。根据“It was started in 1636. Two years later, a young priest named John Harvard died.”哈佛大学1636年建立，两年以后这个叫John Harvard的人去世了。因此可推测他是1638年去世的。故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据“He left his books and a lot of land to the university.”可知John Harvard是捐献给医院书和地，并不是建立学校的人，因此A选项是错误的；根据“The medical school started in 1782. In 1908, the business school opened.”可知商学院是在1908年建立的，医学院是在1782年，因此医学院早于商学院，因此B和D选项是错误的；商学院在1908年建立，距今已经超过100年，因此C选项是正确的。故选C。
