Which end of the consonants, do not pronunciation?
Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way.
Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. 'I can ask him the way.' She said to herself.
'Excuse me,' she said. 'Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?'
The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He was a tourist.
Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrasebook.
He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly.
'I am sorry,' he said. 'I do not speak English.'哪些结尾的辅音不用发出声音?

Peachy is right that all the consonants at the end those words are pronounced.
It's worth noting that 'y', 'w' and 'h' (when it is not part of a combination like 'sh', 'th' or 'ch') are considered vowels at the end of a word. This is because all of them are explosive, and cannot be said without a vowel following them.
'Y' makes an 'i' (ee) sound when it's a vowel.
'W' as a vowel is always part of a vowel combination (ex. 'aw', 'ew')
Very few words end in just 'h'.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question either. In the text, all of the consonants at the end of the words are pronounced - quite heavily, in fact.
Are you asking about silent letters? (eg. the silent e in "spoke")

Thank you very much.

By the way, your question should be "What consonants at the end of words are not pronounced?".
