19．考查动词词义辨析。句意：正当我准备要点鸡肉时，一个男孩问我打算点什么。A. bargain 讨价还价；B. order 点菜、命令；C. carry 携带、搬运；D. book 预订。根据第2小题可知，Wendy是家餐馆，所以这个男孩应该是问作者要点什么菜。故选B。

26．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我很快就发现自己和这个巨大的三层汉堡面对面了。A. found 发现；B. helped 帮助；C. accustomed 使习惯于；D. enjoyed 享受。根据前文“I accepted the challenge”可知，作者接受了挑战，所以很快作者就要面对着大汉堡开始比赛了。这里用“found”，表示作者发现自己要开始比赛了。故选A。
