The English Test for International Communication (ETIC) is designed to investigate the core qualities that international talents are supposed to be equipped with, including the ability of fully understanding international rules and cooperation, the ability of analyzing and solving problems, as well as the ability of cross-cultural comprehension and expression. Under the guide of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory, this paper tries to analyze some typical questions from the official website of ETIC and dip out the implied examining points of intercultural communication competence behind the questions of the communication tasks in ETIC. In this way, some enlightenment for improving cross-cultural communication ability can be provided.
