2.考查动词时态。句意：他的父亲希尔先生是一个富有的农民，后来他在我们镇上开了一家商店。由此句的was可知时态是一般过去时，谓语动词要用过去式，A是原形；B是三单形式；D是现在分词或动名词。故答案选C。

3.考查名词辨析。句意：他的家人搬到了新房子，他的儿子开始在我们班学习。A. home表示家，主要指一个人出生或居住的地方，房屋是其中的一部分，因而也有“家乡、故乡”的意思；B. shop商店；C. building大楼；D. family表示家，主要指“家庭、家庭成员”，与居住的房子无关。结合语境可知是他的一家人搬到了新房子，答案选D。

4.考查形容词辨析。句意：但他在这里几乎没有朋友。A. a few少许，少数；B. few 几乎没有；C. a little少许；D. little极少。A和B修饰可数名词，C和D修饰不可数名词。此处修饰可数名词复数friends，且由他是新搬来的可知，他在这里几乎没有朋友，故答案选B。
