Ответ:

1. A: How long have you been at university? (you/be)

  B: I started two years ago. I'm in my third year now. (start)

Объяснение:

Если в предложении есть указание на время выполнения действия в прошлом, то используем Past Simple.

Если же точного указания времени нет, а есть слова типа already ("уже"), just ( "только что") или выражение с since, то нужно использовать Present Perfect.
