If your site contains multiple pages with largely identical content, there are a number of ways you can indicate your preferred URL to Google. (This is called "canonicalization".)

You can achieve this simply by implement the rel="canonical" tag in the duplicate page contents (i.e. test2.html in your case)

Set noindex tag.

BTW, your question is not clear. I guess you are asking for this, its not possible to make a page visible as the other at the same time. Google may consider this as spam. The only way to get it done is via a redirection.

You must use noindex tag or you may implement this tag rel="canonical" in the contents of the duplicate pages without redirecting.

If your website have two pages, xyz dot com/test1.htm and xyz dot com/test2.html and both have same content and you display xyz dot com/test1.html without redirect, than set canonical in xyz dot com/test1.htm and apply no follow no index page in xyz dot com/test2.html. It's the best solution without redirect your pages.

Nope.

All noindex does is tell the indexing engine to not catalog the contents of the page; its URL is still cataloged

Also, nofollow is wholly unrelated to the issue at hand.

As an alternative: disallow test2.html in robots.txt
