Based on collecting and analyzing the former studies, through the questionnaire, test paper and interview, this paper makes an investigation about Chinese Cultural Aphasia, which aims at finding out whether it exists or not and the reasons that are responsible for the phenomenon. The result shows: (1) “Chinese Cultural Aphasia” phenomenon does exist in Senior High English teaching, and students’ ability of expressing Chinese culture in English is worse than expected. (2) The reasons that are responsible for the phenomenon are in the following: Both students and teachers lack Chinese cultural consciousness, including that teachers’ teaching idea is not correct and teaching method is single. What’s more, in textbooks the proportion of Chinese culture content is too little. Accordingly, some proposals are put forward to solve the problem: (1) Students should pay attention to English expressions of Chinese culture. (2) Teachers should develop double culture ability, change attitude to English teaching, change the teaching method, use the textbooks neatly, increase the check of expressions related to Chinese culture. (3) Increase the proportion of Chinese culture in the textbooks.
