In addition, the high school English curriculum standard also puts forward certain requirements for the cultivation of students' intercultural communicative competence, thus it is necessary to cultivate students' intercultural communicative competence in high school English teaching. Adhering to literacy orientation, respect for differences and an ideological basis should be the principles of cultivating intercultural communicative competence. Language is the carrier of culture, and the cultivation of students' cross-cultural communicative competence can be carried out throughout vocabulary teaching by explaining the different meanings of vocabulary, explaining the background cultural knowledge of vocabulary, improving cultural sensitivity through lexical cultural comparison to strengthen students' cross-cultural communicative competence.
