Climbing Technology Tree
I’ve been playing Civ2 for a while but have never managed to get advances in 1 or 2 turns. Even under Democracy and cities with Libraries, Universities, SETI Wonder and city improvements that yield more income my advances come every 4 or 5 turns. I’ve read that in the later years of the game one should expect advances every 1 or 2 turns. How can that be achieved?

The Super Science City.Collosus,Cope's Observatory,Sir Isaac's College and sometimes Shake's Theatre in the same city.Preferably at a site that has 4 specials and rivers.Specials should be trade specials like whale,silk,wine,gold etc.
Caravans/freights-delivering them yeilds a one time science bonus equal to the amount of gold recieved.Sometimes delivering just 1 or 2 can be enough to complete researching a tech.You also get trade routes which add to science and income long term

Also, playing on a small map will make it so you need less science for each advance.

Have a go at one of the OCC games available in the Civ 2 - Strategy forum - there you will see that with only one city - carefully placed and absolutely maxed out for science you can achieve a tech a turn with a bit of luck, but a tech every other turn without too much difficulty - IMHO OCC is the easiest way to win at deity - go try it...

Of course you don't HAVE to have the SSC.You don't HAVE to have anything.Large civs can generate 15000+ beakers per turn when maxed out.You can get 3,4,5 techs per turn at that point.But,its alot easier with the SSC.As mentioned the SSC alone can generate enough science beakers for 2 turns per tech.With a few support cities 1 turn should be fairly easy.
