先把题目和选项给你翻译一下：
Which of the following is NOT true about Britain?
下列关于英国的哪一项是不正确的?
A.It used to be a powerful imperial country in the world.
它曾经是世界上一个非常强大的君主国.
B.It plays an active role as a member of European Union.
它作为欧盟成员国,扮演着一个活跃的角色.
C.It is a relatively wealthy and developed country.
它是一个相对富裕发达的国家.
D.It used to be one of the superpowers in the world.
它曾经是世界超级大国之一.
个人认为选择答案D并不是因为过去时的缘故.superpower这个词是一个带有时代政治色彩的词,一般不特别予以说明的话,默认是指冷战时期的美苏两大超级大国.很显然,冷战时期英国只是美国领导下的北约的一个成员,并不是超级大国.
至于为什么英国曾经作为日不落帝国,却不能享受超级大国的这个称号,还是那句话,superpower是一个带有时代政治色彩的词,在殖民时代的英国发展到顶峰的时候,它已经有一个日不落帝国的专称了,而那时,很可能还没有superpower这么个概念.
其它的选项应该没有问题,陈述的都是基本事实.
The key to the option is past tense.
过去时不对，英国现在仍然是安理会五常之一，还是有巨大影响力的大国，不符合题意
D，因为超级大国的概念提出是建立在苏联解体之后美国一国独大，世界一超多强的基础上的。尽管不列颠帝国曾经日不落，但是其影响不及现在的美国，毕竟只是多数体现在控制版图大、资源丰富上。
